Document Summary

Peers people who are about the same age. Friends people with whom you develop a valued, mutual relationship. Time spent with family decreases > 28 minutes per day with parents. Tim spent with friends increases > 103 minutes per day with friends. Adolescents are more likely to take to their friends about more personal issues, and to their parents about education and future occupation. A close friend has emotions just like mine. I can tell my friends anything and they will understand. Close friends accept me for who i really am. Keep in mind the importance of friends in adolescence does not mean that close relationships with parents are incompatible with having close friendships. Pattern of increasing time spent with peers, decreasing time spent with parents. More likely to have substantial gender di erences in terms of family relationships. Even in cultures where most adolescents attend school, the social and emotional balance tilts toward family.
