Memo

When a teenager enters an adult life, he/she is expected to change himself as well. At the same time it is very important to stay who he/she is. A young person is to find his/her place in a society and define own tempo of adaptation.

The first touch of the society rules is the first year at college. It means that a young person faces many unusual ideas. So, mentally it could be difficult to youth. Psychologically, it is possible to cope with every problem.

Activity peculiarities

Activity is a special characteristic of the human personality. Social character of activity is doubtful now. It means that the interests of a society are not first-placed to a young person; they are like background for the personal goals and dreams.

It derives another characteristic of activity, which is subjectivity. Everyone has own idea, sometimes it is considered to be the only correct one, especially it is familiar to the young people. Subjectivity let a person accept his/her idea as the main one and act in accordance to that.

When you wish to buy something, you make an effort to go out and purchase it at the closest shop. When you want to be a leader of your group, you stand for that. So, one of the activity properties is goal-orientation. In the goal formation a person follows through goal setting, plan arranging and plan realization. Goal setting is one of the youth problems, too. The matter is that it is easy to set the goal (it is created in the young heads easily), but the most difficult stage is the next one – goal adjusting and making real. That is why system, plan and realistic approach are important. The social psychologists recommend being as realistic as it is possible, but do not allow your low self-confidence make your plans minor. It is worthy writing down the plans for the short and long time and be positive about them. Even if someone breaks an opportunity to make the dream true right now, there will be an opportunity next time if he/she works on it.
