Being Misunderstood: Lester Ledgister

11/5/2013

Picture
Being misunderstood comes with the unfortunate territory of being a teenager. Teenagers are often treated like little children but expected to act like adults. Teenagers have immature minds that cause them to struggle at times to express themselves in a rational fashion. These two factors serve as primary reason as to why teenagers are often misunderstood. Just like every other teenager, I have been misunderstood in high school and in college. Often times by individuals who claimed to know who I am but did not know me at all.

The ability to deal with people misunderstanding you often detects the maturity level of a teenager. When I feel like I am being misunderstood by someone, I try to think about what would cause them to not understanding me. It may be because of my speech or my body language or maybe they have a preconceived notion about me and interpreted my actions in a different light than it was meant to be. After trying to understand the other person, I do try clarifying the situation and getting them to understand me but then I realize that I cannot control what others think of me.
