How to use adolescence in a sentence?

1. Shah Asad Rizvi:

   Beginnings of youth to the growth of adolescence till autumn of life; every step journeyed with blossomed smiles wearing my dancing shoes

2. Mexican American:

   It's very rare to find a study that follows individuals across early adolescence to middle age, and then as seniors, so that's really why we wanted to highlight this. We also want to think about how we counteract this trend, because these are behaviors that are modifiable.

3. Jules Feiffer:

   Maturity is only a short break in adolescence.

4. James Steyer:

   I just think that it should be a complete wake-up call to every parent, educator, policymaker, business person (and) tech industry person that the reshaping of our media tech landscape is first and foremost affecting young people's lives and reshaping childhood and adolescence.

5. Eric Hoffer:

   Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunites for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.
