Teenagers
Teenagers make many choices each day to: | | • | Do the best they can in all their classes at school. | • | Deal with all that's going on at school outside of classes. | • | Get along with friends and their immediate and
extended families. | • | Know how to effectively handle invitations regarding alcohol, drugs, and other 'social invitations'. | • | Manage their time well between studying, school commitments, family, friends,and possibly work at a part-time job. | • | Decide whether to go to college, which one, and what to major in at college. |
With all these choices that they have to make, teenagers need an easy, and yet, effective way to make them.  The quote "Teenagers like to be different - just like everyone else" illustrates how teenagers like to be 'like the gang'; yet, also may need to take a stand by making a choice that is different from the crowd such as staying in school versus dropping out and doing drugs. They may feel that they may be risking rejection by even their closest friends if they “go against the gang”. Getting in the habit of thinking about the consequences and outcomes of one's choice is hard to do for teenagers given the limited level of development of their brain as stated in this article from Scholastic magazine, but utterly important to help a teenager feel more in charge and responsible for himself when he makes good choices and decisions.
