    During a 1992 interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, Jackson he stated that when he was a young boy he was tutored for schoolwork for three hours each day, after which he would go to the recording studio to record music with his brothers “until it was time to go to sleep. He recalled a park across the street from the recording studio and stated that he would see children playing in the park and would cry because he was resentful that other kids were allowed to play while he had to work (Lewis-Jones, 2005).

In the article the authors suggest that there is a need for "life transition" courses for women who are interested in understanding how to improve their health and well-being. The actual midlife crisis starts in order to establish the suggested changes…

    Late Adulthood is a time in people’s lives when they come to terms with their lives and reevaluate what they have done or accomplished in the lieu of what they still would like to accomplish for the remainder of their lives. During this stage of life adults around the ages of 65 begin to experience a variety of changes in their physical appearance and a decline in their health. The process of aging in an individual occurs at different speeds and during this stage older adults are being treated as second-class citizens especially by younger adults. The skin begins to wrinkle at an accelerated rate, the senses lose their acuity, and the voice becomes less powerful.
