Gestures typical for teenagers
Psychologists state that the gesturing is not an inborn ability of the people. As a person born he or she has no gesturing typical for the character and disposition, those moves are acquired during the life and growing elder. As a child grows up parents are care about their child was skilful at talking, writing and reading. There are a lot of methodises and techniques that are of great help as one teaches his child. Though, have you ever heard about the classes of gesturing or posture? I bet you don't as there are no such classes, except those that are hold for children of the royal families. But, those are mostly the norms of the behaviour but not of the expression of their feelings through mimicry and gesturing.
So, as a child grows up it adopts the gestures typical for the parents, but, as the time laps those gestures are replaced with the gestures typical for the temper of the child and the way of life he or she leads. The certain gestures appear as the character of the child is developed; those are the gestures typical for the extrovert or an introvert. Upon those gestures parents may identify the type of the character of their children and choose the right way of communication.
Except the gestures that are the indication of the temper and the character of the child there are the gestures the child adopts from the people it communicates to and the interests it prefers. There are a lot of youth subcultures that are characterised with peculiar way of the behaviour and communication. Those groups are formed on the base of the common interests and belief. As a rule, those groups are distinctive for the appearance of the members of the group, for the slang they use and, sure, for the special system of gestures, attitudes and signs peculiar for the certain subculture.
Say, there is such subculture that is based on the love for the rap music. The followers of that subculture are distinctive by their peculiar appearance and slang they use for communicating. But, there is another feature that distinguishes them from the other people and subcultures. There are two typical gestures of those teenagers. Those gestures are the symbols of two sides that fight for the right to be predominant in the world of the rap music. One sign denotes the belonging of a person to the West Coast and the other denotes the belonging of a person to the East Coast. Those two gestures are not just sign, they undertake a person to follow the certain rules and to listen to certain music and neglect another.
So, as you can see the gestures the teenagers use are not the gestures that may be considered as the display of their inner state of their character. Those are the gestures that are the indicators of the way of life the teenager leads. Sure, it is not the unbreakable rule and there are the gestures that reveal the disposition of the teenager, especial if the teenager doesn't belong to any of subcultures.
