Writing as a Teenager
Many people have many challenges when writing. When I write it's difficult for me to stay on topic. Also another thing, is that I repeat myself a lot in my essays. As a teenager we have a lot on our mind like activities or events outside of school so when we write in class or at home its hard and it's a challenge for us to come up with ideas. Sometimes when the topic has a lot of information its easier for us to write a four or five page essay. Communicating in high school is hard for some people who are shy and are anti-social so when some people have the chance to write they are good at it cause they are used to keeping there ideas in their mind.

I agree with you Gaby writing as a teenager can be difficult. A lot of teenagers have struggles concentrating on writing because of all the distractions around them.

ReplyDeleteI have the same problem as you Gaby, I don't always stay on topic which can make my message of the essay confusing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you gaby as well. It is hard staying on one topic while writing as a teenager having so much distractions especially with alot of school activities going on such as sports, clubs, and ect.
ReplyDeleteGaby, all of the points you make in your post are very applicable. I remember a method I learned in college to stay organized when writing a long research paper. Our professor instructed us to create notecards with one or two sentences or ideas. Once we had gathered a great amount of research we would group the note cards together and eventually we would have a few sentences to combine for paragraphs. Since I was in college before the internet and research was gathered in a much different process than in today's world, the method I learned worked well for me. I can see this type of strategy working, but instead of notecards, OneNote or Google Drive could be used to store sentences or paragraphs. As far as staying on topic goes, perhaps breaking up the time to work on the paper is an idea that could help you. May be you are allocating too much time and you are becoming distracted during the time. I know that when I write, I don’t like too much of a background noise such as loud music or TV to be on because the sound distracts me. I do hope that you come up with a method which will help you with this challenge that you deal with when you write.
