This morning, we had our fire drill at exactly 9:00 am. We always have fire drills and it's done every year. I like that our school is implementing this kind of practice. It helps the students studying in our school to become aware and to know what is the proper ways to do when it really happens. It's funny but it's disappointing that some students treat it as a joke and not deal with it seriously. Another thing which is funny is that some students are over-acting, some are screaming and running while going down the stairs. And the last funny thing is that there are students who seem to have their own world and don't care what's happening around them (parang autistic).

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 8)

* PHYSICAL CHANGES
--> Asynchronous
--> There's almost 2-year difference between the maximum physical growth rates for boys and girls.
--> It is difficult to determine the onset of puberty of the boys.

♣ GIRLS
◘ menstruation
◘ enlargement of the breast
◘ widening of pelvis gradual deposit of fat on the hips
◘ appearance of pubic hair

♣ BOYS
◘ appearance of pubic hair
◘ increased growth of hair in the body
◘ occurrence of nocturnal emission
◘broadening of shoulders


♠○♠ Among all the changes that happen to us during our adolescence period, the physical changes of our body is the most noticeable. Girls and boys definitely have different changes that occur in their bodies, although sometimes there are similarities like the increasing measure of our height, changes in our voices and etc. Based from what I've learned, changes may start early at the age of 8 and at the age of sixteen as the latest. Have you ever wondered why does your seatmate started to experience changes in his/her body but your body has not started to change yet? When that situation happens, you should not think that your abnormal or whatsoever because like what our T.L.E. teacher said, our body has its own biological clock which commands our body to change when it's already the time for your body to change. The third definition about the physical changes I've stated above is true. It is really hard to determine if a boy already starts developing physically because unlike the girls their physical changes are very obvious. I realized that I'm very lucky that this topic is discussed here in our school so that I'll have the prior knowledge of what changes that will happen to me in this stage of my life and it clears all the questions that are inside my mind about this.

I'm Definitely Loquacious

There was this one recess that made me laugh hard. You know why? I was talking to my friends (as usual). My new classmate Michelle Marasigan told me that she thought that I'm a quiet type which I was not. I told her that her first impression about me was extremely a false thought. We are both shocked in that incident and since then we are always (di naman masyado) talking to each oher and eat recess together. Funny right?!

First Day of Class

I was so excited that time, but I got sad by the time i found out that some of my former classmates were transferred to other section. By the way since I'm so excited I was included in the first ten early birds (haha).

Me myself was shocked about my attitude on the first day in our classroom. I was so quiet and I'm not even talking to my new classmates who came from other section. Take note: (sa loob lang yan ng classroom) but when recess came my attitude of being talkative came out when I started chatting with my friends.

(di kayo makapaniwala na tahimik ako nung first day sa classroom noh?!)

(baka nakakalimutan niyo yung note sa classroom lang pero sa labas madaldal na ulit ako-hehe)

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 7)

* THE FOUR COPING BEHAVIORS ARE:

--> self-consciousness
--> personal fable
--> identity seeking
--> affiliation

# We presented today, wherein the class was divided into four so that each group will discuss one coping behavior. Our group was the first group, we role played the first coping behavior which is self-consciousness. Our presentation showed our classmates the simple things that we teens are conscious about like our hair and the shape of our body. Personal fable was assigned to the second group wherein they use early pregnancy as their example of an incident happening nowadays wherein our parents are overacting at. The third group's topic is identity seeking, which is also connected to the last coping behavior which is affiliation wherein they stressed that no one should do things that he/she knows that is bad just to be included in a certain group of friends.

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 5)

The second developmental stage of adolescence is the:

* MIDDLE ADOLESCENCE(14-17 yrs. old)
--> complaints that parents interfere with independence
--> extremely concern with one's appearance and body
--> concern about sexual attractiveness
--> feeling of love and passion

# This developmental stage makes teens misunderstand their parents and think that they're "pakilamera". There's this instance wherein even the dress that we will wear will be interfered by our parents but come to think of it are they really "pakilamera"?

# This stage makes us extremely concern with our appearance. We can see everything that is wrong in our body. Although honestly, I do get concern with my body I'm not in favor of criticizing my body because it is a gift from GOD and we must accept it whatever it is.

# We are now conscious about our sexual attractiveness. For us, it does not matter if we are beautiful or not as long as there's something attractive within our body.

# And lastly, we feel love and passion. We should not be confused about love and infatuation. Infatuation is the certain romantic feeling that we feel for a person of the opposite sex, it is what we call "crush". Love is definitely different from infatuation. You cannot wake up one morning and say " Oh, I love ____ already!", that's definitely wrong!! Loving a person needs the willingness of the person to accept his/her partner inside and out.

(the last developmental stage will be discussed in my next reflection)

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 4)

There are three developmental stages of Adolescence. The first stage is early adolescence, middle adolescence and late adolescence.

*EARLY ADOLESCENCE(12-14 yrs. old)
--> sense of identity
--> moodiness
--> close friends gain importance
--> less affection shown to parents
--> shyness and blushing
--> show-off qualities
--> experimentation with the body


# In this developmental stage of life we are trying to find our own identity. We should not copy our friends' identity because we have our own.

# We also encounter the fast turning of our moods. An example is, we are sad in the morning but when we see our crushes our moods changed as fast as a wink of an eye.

# We find comfort telling secrets to our friends than to our parents. There are also times that we are shy kissing our parents in public which should not be.

# When we are young, we just laugh after slipping but now when we slipped we became shy(especially when it happened in front of your crush). We often blush upon seeing our crushes.

# If we have talents we want to show it off.

# Out of curiosity some teenagers experiment with their body. A best example is piercing in different parts of your body(tongue, belly buttons eyebrows and etc.).


We must know how to handle the situation and the problems we encounter in this stage. We must not be mislead by the temptations that surround us.

(the other two developmental stages of adolescence will be discussed in my next reflection)

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 3)

Are you confused if your already an adult or you're stil a child? Is there an instance that your mother tells you to do a certain thing and said that your already old that's why you have to do things like that and thinking that you really are old or an adult I should say you went home late acting like an adult and your mother scolds you and said that you're still young that's why you shouldn't go home late?.

Our TLE teacher helped us to understand better the situation. She told us that there are two groups the "children" and the "adults" and we adolescents are in the middle of the two said groups. This period that we experience which is so called "adolescence" is the most enjoyable part of life because we can be both, we can be a child and at the same time an adult. The problem in the instance i mentioned earlier is that our parents treat us both. Even though that instance always happen, we should not be confused.

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 2)

Are you acting your age or you dress up like lady? Most teenagers nowadays doesn't act what they are suppose to be for their age. If you'll walk around you'll see girls who are 12-14 seems 18-20 not because of their faces but because the way they dress, speak and act. That should not happen.

We young teens should act our age. We should dress up like a 12-14 years old. We must not imitate people who are already 18-20 years old. Based on what I have learned from Ms. Giron that we should not think that 18-20 years old because if we focus that we are already 18-20 years old we cannot cherish the other years in our life. In short, the years between your age and the age you want to be will be wasted.

My TLE reflection about adolescence(part 1)

We started our lesson with a story which is about a man and a butterfly. The story is about a man who has a caterpillar who is inside a cocoon, on the day that the butterfly will go out of its cocoon the man waited. There's only a small opening in the cocoon and the man thought that the butterfly was having a hard time to emerge that's why he cut the opening thinking that it will help the butterfly. After that, the butterfly died earlier than the span that it must have lived.

The story teaches us a lesson. We should not use shortcuts in life. Our life has its process that will help us to be stronger for us to face our struggles in life. We must also learn that everything has its time, we don't need to rush things up.

The story is related in a way in our topic. A life of a butterfly can be compared to a life of a man. Like what I have stated above the life of a butterfly and a man has processes that don't need shortcuts. Shortcuts should not be used because in the future you will be the one who will suffer. I am encouraging my co-students to be in the process of life so that in the future we will become beautiful butterflies.
