Solitary Peers

According to UCLA.edu, “the need to connect socially with others is as basic as our need for food, water, and shelter”. Additionally, according to ncbi.gov, “ it is generally accepted by the vast majority of the experts working in this field that loneliness frequently results in a decline of well-being and causes depression as an effect.” These conclusions have been reached from noticing the dire effects of not having sufficient amount of social interaction. As a matter of fact, the human race as a whole has succeeded due to our high amounts of interaction with one another, so when someone refuses to reach out to anyone, people begin to feel empty inside or that they unlike anyone else. As this feeling is sustained throughout adolescence, it begins enlarge and overtime, lead to substantial depression. On top of this progression from solitude to depression ensuing, alienation often times leads to the belief that nobody understands them or knows what they are going through, so they depend on themselves, and themselves alone for guidance in their lives. This leads these unfortunate children down the rabbit hole, that leads to distress and of course depression. As shown above, it is apparent that when someone convinces themselves socially, especially in

Explain the reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected pattern:

Being isolated from people can be a scary thing. Imagine when life doesn't go one’s way, not having someone to talk to. Some people can be extremely affected by not having someone by their side. In the novel of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George and Lennie are friends, and both depend on each other, but Lennie may depend on George more. the author suggests that over time, being isolated can negatively affect one’s feelings by making individuals have bitter thoughts because they long for a companionship that they never had.

In “The Veldt”, Bradbury illustrates the slippery slope, an idea or course of action which will lead to something unacceptable, wrong, or disastrous, of technology. Before the Hadleys purchased the “HappyLife Home,” their lives were filled with work that had to be done. But after, the house now replaced all kinds of work, even caring for their children have been replaced with the nursery. Peter and Wendy are affected the most in this situation, their interactions with their parents are completely replaced by the nursery. Their past interest of books, social activities, and playing outside are all replaced by a room with can recreate their imagination. This isolation from other people, even their parents, has resulted in the lost of emotions.

Social isolation is a chronic psychological disorder affecting an individual’s relationship with the society. It refers to the complete or limited lack of contact between an individual and the members of the society. Both the Enock Emery and Johnny Bear’s narratives illustrate social isolation as a dominant theme.

When I started preschool, the first real interaction I had with other children my age, made me shutdown. I would barely talked at school, my teachers started worrying of me. The school talked to my parents, asking if there had been anything traumatic that had happened

Where children live and the way they are brought up by their parents/carers has an effect on whom they are as a person and how they will develop. For instance if parents are rich or poor, live in good or bad housing, if they are capable loving carers or struggle with parenthood and/or their own (mental) health, or if there is abuse or lack of interest in the family unit, all these circumstances will make a difference to a child’s life and their physical and emotional health might be affected by these different scenarios.

Having a parent who was adopted, and not being able to open their file leaves their children feeling empty. I grew up not knowing the other half of me and not knowing what cultures I could be a part of. Children who have a parent or parents that went through closed adoption process feel confused with their roots, lack medical history of potential diseases, and feel a loss of ethnic identity.

As social beings, most of us feel the need to interact and enjoy the company of others. A popular definition of loneliness, is that its that feeling we get when this interaction is missing. However, loneliness is not the same as being alone or isolated. One can choose to be alone and enjoy a very blissful life. Or one can be very active in community groups, friends, and even family and still feel lonely. Loneliness is not an outward appearance, its an internal battle that causes weakness, and spiritual isolation within a person.

Humans are truly social creatures; not only do people crave social interaction, it is needed to survive. Why, then, would anyone deny something that is needed to survive to children? Everyday in the United States, there are hundreds, if not thousands of youth that are locked in solitary confinement. Solitary confinement is used as a form of punishment for prisoners who are acting out or breaking rules in jail. The process involves putting the person in a cell alone for 23 hours a day. They are given one hour a day for showering and recreation in a five by fifty foot cage. The cell has sparse furnishings, and seldom even has a window. The only interaction these people get is by yelling to inmates far away and hoping they will yell back or the

Jodi Picoult once said, “Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.” The novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, written by Carson McCullers, highlights the theme of isolation throughout. In most cases, an astute listener helps ease a person’s feeling of isolation. John Singer, the town’s deaf mute, represents a confidant to the other protagonists, Dr. Benedict Copeland, Biff Brannon, and Mick Kelly as they struggle with their isolation. These protagonists, including John Singer, hold backgrounds that explain their loneliness. They manage their seclusion in unique ways, but they

The debate over the treatment of prisoners has been going on for years. Some think that they deserve the punishment they get and some think that they are violated. Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia was the first place to experiment with solitary confinement in the U.S during, 1829. Eventually, Forensic Psychologists and Criminologists started to study inmate 's behavior while they were in isolation. If prisons could figure out a different way to punish prisoners instead of solitary confinement, the lives of inmates would be safer.

As humans go through the various stages of life, infancy to late adulthood, social interactions shape their understanding of the world around them. Human socialization begins at birth. During the first weeks of life, Interactions with parents and siblings teach infants basic human emotions such as happiness, anger, fear, surprise, and joy. Early interactions with family members and caregivers provide children a foundation to build on as they grow. Interactions during the first years teach skills such as self-feeding, communication, and friendship. As children are exposed to influences outside the home, they begin to develop social skills such as self-control, sharing, and relationship building. Imagine if these skills were never learned. Dining out would be an entirely different experience. Adults would be pitching fits and fighting over the menu! Sadly, there are known cases of human isolation that prove the importance social

The adolescents must not be shy, or afraid to initiate conversations, which obviously lacks in those who have social phobia. Moreover, it is very important that one should be honest in their opinions, and not just say what they think the other person wants to or would like to hear, as that causes a distance in their relation.

The differences between loneliness and isolation is that loneliness is when you don 't have any friends or family and just alone and isolation is when you choose to be by yourself , as in isolating yourself from everything. Being lonely has to deal with both social barriers and isolation is just dealing with personal choice. Most people enjoy loneliness rather than isolation because isolation is something that someone choose to do and no-one wants to be lonely so it 's most likely that people will avoid being lonely. Isolation have to deal with a lot of canceling out and being by themselves or choosing to be by themselves , and also its because they have to be lonely so they can focus on what they want to do or what goal they
