About this Guide
Life Stages
It is easy to let society and cultural dynamics impact the way we view our own life stages. In some ways that is good: we share common experiences and have a common language to communicate with. The problem is that these stages are so varied for different individuals that what may be a negative experience for one person may be positive for someone else. Keep careful track of your own life experiences and let others compare and contrast their experiences with your own.
