Going to the movies, going to the mall, hanging out with friends at the pool, beach or each other's houses... these were times I lived for as an adolescent, and I would imagine you do, too. What would you do if all of a sudden I told you that you must remain in your house with your family, for years? What would happen to your "teenage life"?
You all can speak from personal experience, as you are all there right now... in that "awkward" time between childhood and being a teenager... adolescence. This is a great time in your life, but can simultaneousy be confusing and difficult. Anne Frank describes many "adolescent" moments, thoughts and feelings that she has in her diary. Although she was a teeenager roughly 70 years ago in Holland, during World War II, we can still relate to her experiences with adolescence.
Look for textual evidence in Anne's diary about her adolescence, and tell us how it relates to your current life, or to the life of any adolescent in general. Please indicate the exact quote and the page you got it from, then tell us about how it relates to life as an adolescent. Hint: Anne begins focusing more on this change starting on p. 127...
