4.Conformity and obedience are forms of social psychology.

Many teenagers
want to consider themselves “rebels”, but they actually conform to certain
attitudes, ideas and trends that make them obedient. Exemplify and discuss how
good, respectively bad influence from their friends, might shape the personality
of a future adult.

Adolescence is considered the most controversial period in terms of

psychological, pedagogical and social interpretations. This distinct stage of
development is characterized by profound changes that significantly impress the
human being through qualitative and quantitative changes. The preparation of
adolescents and young people for a successful career and a life of satisfaction is
no longer supported exclusively by the baggage of theoretical knowledge and,
respectively, by the practical skills accumulated during the school years. In
other words, adolescence, through its specific psycho-educational peculiarities,
presupposes a formative paradigm different from the one applicable until high
school, but also reconsidering the importance of key competencies.
First of all, adolescence is the "time of friendship", it is the time when friends
become more important than family. Friends are so strong that some children
begin to identify with others, to do what their friend does, to dress the same, to
eat, to have the same habits. Teenagers are able to better express their thoughts
and feelings with friends, at the same time they are able to understand the point
of view and emotions of other teenagers in the circle of friends. Wonderful
things or real tragedies can happen inside them.
On the other hand, friends can also have a negative influence on teenagers.
Due to peer pressure and inexperience, high school students end up acting in
ways they would not have resorted to if they were not led. Therefore, it is
necessary for young people to know how to choose their friends and also to be
aware of the values on which the relationships between them and their friends
operate. That is why we must pay attention to friendships that can influence us
badly and can destroy our future.
In conclusion, encourage friendship, but still set some boundaries. do not
label the first friendship as good or bad, but try to find out from your child what
he thinks about them and what his place is in this group. Discuss with friends
about friendship and its values. Help them understand that integration into a
group does not have to be the star of the group or the mascot. It is important for
a child to know that being part of a group does not mean giving up on yourself
to do only what others do. Integrating into a group means not giving up your
own values, your own identity.
