6. Adolescents who are unsure of their bodies fret awhile over their appearance and bodily functions; then, they courageously age and let their minds deteriorate.

1) Adolescence is the wrong form of the word here. This term refers to the period of time when one is an adolescent. An adolescent is the person who belongs to this group. (1 pt.)

2) One must use the "awhile" form when this term is used as an adverb. Here it is referring to how the adolescents fret, so it should use the adverbial form, not "a while". (1 pt.)

3) Here there are two independent clauses that are joined by a conjunctive adverb. This conjunctive adverb should be set off with a semicolon in front and a comma in back. (1 pt.)
