TOPIC: Teenager
CLUSTER: Attitudes of a Teenager
“Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character” (Einstein). Being a teenager is one of the toughest stages. It is where you have to deal and cope with the changes in your life. This transformation from childhood to adulthood might be smooth for some, but rough for others. The major thing about being a teenager is responsibility because when you're a teenager, you get blamed for anything wrong that you did, you even get punished, unlike before when your still a child, and you could get away with it easily. It's not that bad being a teenager though. You can go with friends and have fun, which you couldn't because all of you were too little to know what fun is. You can now go to malls, parties etc. with friends, or even alone. It's a very enjoyable time of life, if you do the right stuff, and put thought into what you are doing. But with all good things, must come a bad one. During this age, you are old and hopefully smart enough to understand what is good for you, and make decisions without consulting others. But with that comes risk, and nowadays, fun stuff are usually bad stuff. There are three type of attitude, which is the positive, negative and middle/neutral attitude.
There are three types of attitude the first one is the positive attitude. Having a positive attitude means being passionate about your life, it’s like going through each moment as though it was your last. Live life to the fullest. According to Gee (2012) good experiences might include having a good opposition in life, recovering from bad situation and having victories It also means believing that each moment is perfect, regardless of what happens later. Even the worst moments are a part of life and you don't need to let them drag you down. Things happen, you just need to let it go. Another one is keeping your sense of humor. Learn to laugh and people will be grateful. Laughing creates such a positive energy within you and those who can hear you. Don't take your life too seriously yet don’t make it a joke. According to Lim (2010) having a positive attitude is being optimism which can reduce our stress, it will be a great help too to have an effective stress management. Things happen, you just need to let it go. Another one is keeping your sense of humor. Learn to laugh and people will be grateful.
A negative attitude can take many forms. It might be talking back, refusing to obey the rules and being distracted at home and especially at school. Teens may feel that they are stuck and they have few choices about how they are able to conduct their lives. This is a developmentally normal dilemma since adolescence is the time in which teenagers begin to develop distinct identities and opinions. Teen nowadays tends to give up easily and get insecure because they are lack of confidence and they are comparing their selves to others. Even though other people don’t see why we’re insecure, to build the self-confidence and self-esteem, we need to change how we feel about ourselves emotionally, which can be difficult. Changing our emotions requires two core beliefs about self-image. Sometimes we feel that we’re not good enough, which is a feeling I'm very sure that everyone has at least felt at one point in their lives. This could deal with money, intelligence and confidence. According to Harrell (2011) negative attitude might cause the increase of stress, dismantle teamwork and cripple productivity.
The middle attitude is generally spectators of life. They watch life happen and observe others. They are afraid of change and take risks. The middle/ neutral attitude describe some thoughts includes the future will come and go without me. Someone else will solve the problem for them. Changes are unnecessary because they are afraid to take risks. When arguments tend to get heated, having a neutral attitude can help to lower the flames. If you are dealing with two friends who are arguing, it is important to maintain a neutral attitude to help diffuse the situation, do not choose sides and do not become involved in the argument. Having a neutral attitude takes some restraint and careful consideration to ensure that you do not offer any opinions that may lead to a possible rift in your relationship. According to Naueret (2012) emotional experiences may include having accurate judgments, sensory cues and accumulated knowledge which can be helpful for us.
According to Shin (2005) some of the bad experiences as a teenager are being betrayed, people are taking advantage and being feverish. But there are just some obstacles that we need to cope and get through. As I look back on the reasons of the attitudes of a teenager there are two reasons that stand out which is the good and bad experiences additional to that is the Attitudes of a teenager that has three types, it includes the positive, negative and neutral attitudes.

Some of my comments for this:

---->If you were to use statement or quote of others, you must include quotation marks to where the statement starts and ends. So that, the readers will be able to determine what quote was credited. And if you were to include the year or date of the credit, just enclose it with parentheses.
Overall, as what I have said, it was a good essay. Keep up the good work!
Hope that I helped.
This is a good essay. But I am little confused. Can you post the prompt?
Suggestion:
You might want to lay off speaking in second person P.O.V. (point-of-view) since this is an essay. For example, in your first paragraph, you speak directly to the reader a lot, which is not bad, but I've been told that it's "professional" to write this way for an essay. But if you were instructed to write it that way, then do what that instructor says to do!
"[You] can go with friends and have fun, which [you] couldn't because all of [you] were too little to know what fun is."
The first 'you' should be 'they' to make it be in third person P.O.V. (point-of-view).
Well, that's just me being a grammar fart. Good luck!
you did a good job in this essay. your title catches my attention and i like that. your first paragraph is very meaningful. you define teenagers and that is great. the thesis statement is great. i will say that there are some sentences you need to improve to make this better. the use of some words in essay is good. you are a good essay writer. just continue writting.
Thank You ^_^
Hi!
I'm just here to make a simple review with your essay. 
As well as your organization of words between statements made your essay better. 
In your citations of your sources, I think it's alright if you would not enclose the surname of the author if you are using "According to" and just apply putting parenthesis on the year when it was written. 
Another, I just noticed that on the first paragraph, you only focused on one type of attitude which you said there are three. I think you better wrote the explanation of the "positive attitude" on a separate paragraph and just think of other ideas to write on your introduction to introduce well what you are going to discuss with your entire essay. I am also looking on where you discussed the "middle/neutral attitude". It was not formally introduced I guess. Also, I just got confused on the sequence of every paragraph. And in your conclusion, I found out that you discussed about the emotions rather than what is your topic. You better have more focus on you topic than any other things. I am wondering where the idea of ending up with that came from? 
I know you still have something else to put in your essay to make it more brilliant. Just be careful on the things you have to remember on writing. But as a whole, it was good. Keep on writing! 
I liked your hook statement. And I also loved the way you have chose and used the words in your work. They were all nice!
I just wanted to give some suggestions about your work.
But as a conclusion, I saw that you are good in writing.
Hope this helps!
