Adolescent Psychology

I've never thought of taking this module before, but the more I think about this module, the more I'm interested in it. 1-week-internship in Jakarta made me realize how I only know a few things about adolescence. The interesting thing about learning about adolescence is it's still possible to look back at myself, or read my diary to track my thought, or look at my cousin to 'analyze' myself or my cousin. Hahaha. While most of my modules so far are around babies, I don't have frequent interaction with babies, my little cousins are not little anymore :P

Some issues that I really want to learn about adolescence: the self-concept, friendship, intergenerational conflict (parents-teens conflict), sexuality issues, and addiction. Even though we all 'have-been-through-that-age' before, even though I'm 'still' 21 (well, I'm not old yet :P), we tend to forget how it feels like to be adolescent. We forget how confusing the world was and we forget how we hate it when 'older' people advice us, "We've been through that, trust us, you are wrong."

So yeah... I'm looking forward for this module!!
and the lecturer this semester apparently is my Psych Assessment lecturer!! --> very lively!! hahaha..
