What is life like at the age of 19 years old? It is the age of making life choices, time for the realization of plans, dreams and hopes. It is the age of starting evaluating and choosing the person one wants to spend his life with, the time for making a foundation of the future. What is life like for a 19 year-old girl? For a girl it is the age of LOVE, it is the period when most of the young girls want to get married and start up a new family. It is the age when everything is just beginning and in “blossom”. At the same time it is a very sensitive stage and dramatic changes can have a high impact on the further self-determination and values of a young girl. The “realignment” of values may “navigate” the whole life situation of a person. A concrete example can reveal a lot more about the issue than generalization. Therefore it is necessary to talk about a definite situation in the life of a 19 year-old young girl. For instance, a 19 year-old girl who first unexpectedly faces the death of her father gets married to her boyfriend and looses him in a car accident. Do these losses make her values concerning personal relationships change? The answer to this question lies in the differences between her view of personal relationship before and after these misfortunes and losses.

 The whole process of transformation of the values of a 19 year-old girl after the misfortunes she faces is a way from taking things for granted to understanding the real value of what she had and can have. It is a process of getting experience and basing the life values on this experience mainly. At the end this results in a square refusal to be open to new personal relations having though a great respect and admiration towards them. So starting with the death of her father the girl starts realizing the true values that the family carries inside, the values of having someone to love and having confidence that this person will not leave. And there is no doubt in her deep desire to love and be loved, holding the family values in her heart.

As it has been already mentioned, normally, a 19 year-old girl who has a family and a boyfriend lives her life actively, taking everything she has for granted and just being happy. Her perception of the world is “distorted” with the peculiarity of maximizing her own possibilities and is self-complacent. Personal relationship with a person outside of the family is something she considers to be very important, sometimes letting her family move to the background. At this stage she loosed her father, a man who has created her whole “man perception system”, who has always been a male role model for her and what is the most important – loved her for being who she was. This is a hard “convulsion” for any person, especially a young girl. Family values start occupying a very important place through the evaluation of what she had and what this relationship brought into her life. She starts understanding how important the family is and how it is necessary to have a place where a person can always feel protected and loved. This point of view appears to be the catalyst of her decision to immediately form a family in some way to make a substitution of what she had and to fill in the emptiness in her heart after the death of her father. She changes her situation of social development.
