Evaluation of an Adolescent’s Development
through the Significant People in their Lives
• PEERS-during the adolescent years, teen peer
groups become increasingly crucial as they
experience closeness in these friendships
resulting in more gratifying relationships.
• Nowadays, teens turn to their friends for
help; instead of their families as the first
line of support during times of worry or
upset.
• Teens modify their behavior, activities,
etc. to be accepted by a peer group.
• When teens modify their choices or behavior
in order to conform to what their friends
are doing, they are adapting to peer
pressure. Peer pressure is often associated
with adverse outcomes such as skipping
school, wearing distasteful clothing, or
drinking alcohol, and using drugs
• FAMILY
• Role of Family in Adolescent’s Development
-The family's role is lessened or that
family has only a limited role in the lives
of young people at this time.
• Family is still important
• Changing role of parents
-Familyis still important
*Adolescents are moving towards becoming independent
physically, emotionally and cognitively, and yet they are
still growing.
-Changing role of parents
*Parents need to face the (painful) reality that their
child is no longer a child, is becoming independent, and
is no longer within their control
*Parents have to learn to ‘let go,’ not of the
relationship, but their dreams for the young person. This
may include their full authority over young people so
that they may allow them to develop their own dreams and
greater self- responsibility
 Assessment

correct. Otherwise, write FALSE.

adolescent’s peers are affected by his/her emotional situations.

behavior, activities, etc. just to be accepted in a group.

development is to guide them and help them adapt to their changing
needs.

by themselves for they are more independent than before.
