As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes．The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly．Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!

With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices．This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future．You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do．Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.

Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices．You will probably want to be independent．But try not to shut your family out of your life．You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself．Your family have been with you since you came into this world.

It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family．Choose your friends wisely．A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.

　　My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents' situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.

　　I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said“Great opportunity.”

　　“What is?”I asked.

　　“To talk, you and I,”he said.“To hold a private little meeting about what we're going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”

　　“But we can't do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same“boat”as I was.

　　And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life——from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.

　　Suddenly, the lights all came back on.“Well,”he said,“I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
