Teachers and librarians need to be aware of the emotional, intellectual, and physical changes thatyoung adults experience, and they need to give serious thought to how they can best accommodate suchchanges. Growing bodies need movement and exercise, but not just in ways that emphasize competition.Because they are adjusting to their new bodies and a whole host of new intellectual and emotionalchallenges, teenagers are especially self-conscious and need the reassurance that comes from achievingsuccess and knowing that their accomplishments are admired by others. However, the typical teenagelifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be wise to plan activities in whichthere are more winners than losers； for example, publishing newsletters with many student-written bookreviews, displaying student artwork, and sponsoring science fiction, fantasy, or other special-interestbook discussion clubs. A variety of small clubs can provide multiple opportunities for leadership, aswell as for practice in successful group dynamics. Making friends is extremely important to teenagers,and many shy students need the security of some kind of organization with a supportive adult barelyvisible in the background.
        In these activities, it is important to remember that young teens have short attention spans. A variety of activities should be organized so that participants can remain active as long as they want andthen go on to something else without feeling guilty and without letting the other participants down.This does not mean that adults must accept irresponsibility. On the contrary, they can help studentsacquire a sense of commitment by planning for roles that are within their capabilities and their attentionspans and by having clearly stated rules. Teenagers need limitations, but they also need the opportunityto help establish what these limits and expectations will be.         Adults also need to realize that the goal of most adolescents is to leave childhood behind as theymove into adulthood. This has implications for whether libraries treat young adult services as a branchof the children’s or the adults’ department. Few teenagers are going to want to sit on small children’schairs or compete with nine- and ten-year-olds when they pick books off the shelves. Neither are theygoing to be attracted to books that use the word children or picture preteens on the covers.         Young adults want a wide variety of informational books about aspects of their lives that are new；for example, the physical development of their bodies, the new freedom they have to associate mainlywith peers instead of family, and the added responsibilities they feel in deciding what kinds of adultroles they will fit.
