There are a couple major transitional times in an Individual's life. These time are associated with age 19 and 28. Though these are the center points of an ongoing evolution to maturity that most cultures, races and religions experience at a similar time.
Reading about suicide rates as a teen, most suicides have a cultural relationship. Women are prone to attempt suicide during teen years. Specifically, Middle-aged White Men are prone to commit suicide around age forty. A preference in suicide is also apparent. Women prefer sleeping pills and stabbing through the heart. Men prefer shooting themselves in the head. It is an awkward symbolism of how Women and Men differentiate themselves. There is another type of suicide. Suicide through irreverently dangerous thoughts and actions.
Thinking about ages 16 to 22, there is a new element in life. It involves peer competition. Of the many explanations of age 19, I believe that is the connection.
People leave the security of having a niche at school or within family. They begin working to become independent. We meet people who are the same peer group. They are comparatively pretty, intelligent, talkative and so-on. Clear favoritism, on a competitive level, is less apparent. This causes frustration and an evaluation of life. There are also family and social tendencies that are open to public debate. Do they know correct answers to living with everyone? When public opinion differs it adds additional frustration to finding answers.
Living around a few different people in college, a Woman left eggshells in the garbage disposal side of the sink. If someone can make breakfast without waking everyone up, why can't they use the garbage disposal without waking everyone?
The issue makes sense. In her family, eggshells go in the garbage disposal. It is not difficult disposing of eggshells after waking up in the morning. In my family, egg shells are disposed in the trash can. It was an irritating issue. Is anyone at fault?
Another group of friends constantly bickered. After being around them for a long time, they complain about activities; they also perform.
There are a couple explanations for this. Personal reflection makes sense. They are angry at the person doing something incorrectly. They attempt to demonstrate how irritating an activity is by performing the activity. They are in an ongoing argument to establish boundaries. They act in a similar mannerism that was fine amongst family, yet not appropriate around other people. It might just be a normal thing to do. That is why everyone does it.
At this time, I realized overly accusatory actions look awful. It brings focus to the person making accusations, while highlighting the fact that they also do this thing they claim to hate. Eventually, I realized to approach people with calmness and not become overly excitable about, "their activity."
It is difficult adjusting to new stimulus, yet a person has to find methods of handling problems. To not find a solution is to never learn how to be acceptable or accepting of anyone. In finding acceptance of other people, I was able to find personal acceptance and not be as self-destructive or judgmental.
The second stage of life is more mysterious; however, knowing there is a mysterious wave of deaths at age 28 slows down self-destructive behavior.
Having some thoughts on the issue, I believe it is the time when everyone wants to improve on life. It is the last moment of stamina to bring life into focus and realize we all become old. Some people live well in old age. Some people are alive.
It is not a mid-life crisis. It is not a form of suicide. People seem to die in ways that appear to provoke death. An example is a Man deciding he cannot lose his next job. After layoffs, he binge drinks and gets in a car accident while crossing the street when the light is red. Though not thinking about death, he was emotional.
It affects everyone. People with a Spouse, Children, home and car are as likely to decide there is something wrong with life as a Single Person who goes job-to-job while attempting to find themselves.
Without explanation, there is something wrong with life. It has to be fixable to live happily.
Is it logical to keep living the same when recognizing something is wrong?
It is another plateau of resolution in to continue with life happily. There are better ways of handling this time of life, yet it is unique to an Individual. Some people believe staying with whatever is going on in life and focusing on improving is the best solution.
The answer might be finding focus to maintain life. Even when a lifestyle is not as popular; it is best to find aspects causing frustration. Making bold changes in life can reduce comfort to a level appearing to close to death. It is also good to recognize personal boundaries for others and self.
There are many plateaus to life. It is not an even distribution. In order to progress, it is important to find methods to cope with change and evolve into a Mature Person. Everyone is still an Individual; however, there are some aspects to life that will forever remain the same.
