Puberty

When the children reach the age of puberty, they do many ridiculous and annoying things. They make adults feel disappointed and disgusted.

Now, my J.6 English students reach this stage. One of the boys in that class is good at speaking English. I gave him 'A' in oral assessments when he was in J. 4 and 5. But now, every time I ask him to discuss with other classmates, he doesn't reject but keep silent throughout the whole discussion. And the only sentence that he said with an arrogant look was 'I agree with you!' I was very angry with him because he is ruining his potential.

Seeing the teenagers wasting their time makes me upset, as they cannot get the time that they waste back and they will regret as they can never catch up with the ones who cherish their time and opportunities. 　

I hope that when Isabella reach the age of puberty (11 years later), she will cherish everything around her and be humble and modest all the time. (Actually, I will use all my energy to guide her to the right track.)
