Adolescences need to be
surrounded with positive
family and community
influences. Parents who
encourage their teens to form
opinions about debatable
topics, tend to have children
who are more knowledgeable
about civic issues and can
view things from different
perspectives (Berk, 2013).
Community involvement
allows adolescents to
understand that their help
makes a difference in their
community (Berk, 2013).
