Romeo Adolescent Quotes

Final Essay “I went from adolescence to senility, trying to bypass maturity”.-Retired american musician Tom Lehrer. Adolescents often show lack of maturity. Romeo and Juliet is a story about two kids who meet and and fall in love in the same day only to get married a few days later.

In the play Romeo makes bad decisions like, going to the party, Falling in love with Juliet too soon, and Killing himself young. First off Romeo deciding to go to the party. Romeo

Another one of Romeo’s bad decisions that was made because of his adolescents was falling in love with Juliet.

In this day and age you see people who are making bad decisions, for example the use of drugs and underage drinking. The decision to do these things is most of the time done by people who are adolescents. These people dont think about the real consequences that it could have later in their live or event the damage that it does to their bodies right now. These people do it without
