What would a teen have to give up if they joined the convent?
Historially, a teenager or person of any age, upon entering a convent was required to give up everything which attached them to the world outside the convent walls. After a period of "settling in" or testing of their commitment to the religious life, which is usually three to four years (one year as a postulant and and three as a novice) the person, providing they and the convent superior were convinced of their wish to lead a religious life in a convent were required to adopt the 'habit' (usually clothes similar to the founder of the order), take permanent vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Poverty meaning they were required to give all their worldy possessions to the poor; chastity meaning they were required to live a life devoid of sexual activity; and obedience meaning they were required to regard the leader of the convent (abbot or abbess) as the absolute authority in the convent. The would-be monks or nuns were even required to give up their baptismal names and take a new name (usually the name of a saint) thus confirming and cementing their status as servants of God. Having done all this, the "world" within the convent walls was their only world, or as some say "the world in microcosm". In the mediaeval era, those wishing to leave a convent after taking their final vows, were required to apply to the pope in Rome to be released from those vows. During the last thirty to forty years, following the second Vatican Council, the rules regarding the status of monks and nuns have been considerably relaxed. They still go through the stages of postulancy and novitiate, adopt the habit, although if the occasion warrants it, they may wear modern clothes as people outside do and take the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, which are now interpreted a little differently. With the vow of poverty, a member of a convent may have all the possessions they require for daily living, but they own nothing. The vow of chastity is unchanged and to my knowledge, the vow of obedience is largely unchanged although there is room for discussion with the superior of the convent. They may also keep their baptismal names if they wish. This answer is from a Roman Catholic perspective and reflects the life stye of "enclosed" or "contemplative" orders eg. Benedictines, Carthusians and Carmelite nuns to name but a few. Other Roman Catholic orders, because of the religious work they perform eg. teaching and nursing, may leave, or find it necessary to leave the confines of the convent to perform their duties. The situation for religious in a convent situation may vary with other religions.
