Sexuality Info Drugs Travel Encounter Theatre Music Guideline To this age
“I don’t know what I’m going to think about me at 16 years old when I will be like my father. I don’t even know what there will be after the death, now I feel like I will never die. And I think that love counts more than all, it counts more than the fear of falling in love, more than the fear to die, more than the fear of being homologated and more of the need of doing something to change this world, which changing it is not so easy.”
(from the film “Like you nobody never” directed by Muccino.)

At this age one is in travel, a travel of growing up in the passage between the child that was and the adult that will be, a travel that passes through deep changes, in just the body, the own mind and the relations with the others. Now it must begin to construct oneself and this adventure can be from a side stimulating and lived with enthusiasm, from the other side rich of incognito and difficulty. One notices that the own body is changing, is growing up, and this gradual experience can be lived with the curiosity for this new possibility, but also with the relative fear to the own image and how to live the own sexuality. It can also be found to ask questions about the future, which road to begin to cover, to have doubts or being in difficulty in undertaking or to continue just covered the formative one in the school or the job. To ask oneself which choice to do is often connected to the questions what does interest me, and how do I want to become?.

It can be oscillate between the opposition to the own parents, the wrangles for being able to experience in freedom and autonomy and the need to feel them still near, as a firm point to which being able to return. Sometimes it seems that there can not be comunication between these two worlds, that do not succed to understand what it is being passed.

Sometimes we close the door of the room and nobody is wanted to be seen, detaching ourselves from all, or the company of the friends is constantly searched, with the desire to open oneself to the world and to new experiences. The possibility to undertake travels is opened, to create and to listen to the music, to share a plan with someone, or to go to the cinema, or to read something perhaps that it enters with what is lived. Sometimes in the travel it can enter also in contact with substances that modify the perception of the reality, like alcohol and drugs, and perhaps it is important to be able to speak about it, to know what they are and to which risks encounter is gone assuming them. It’s normal, during this passage, close to enthusiam to try sometimes a deep feeling of confusion and loss. Perhaps it’s wanted to be able to experiment but also to receive a support and a guide.
