Document Summary
Describe the nature of the adolescent peer groups: changes in groups. Adolescents spend less time with parents and more time with peer groups: boys spend more time alone and girls spend more time either alone or with friends instead of parents. Teens spend more time unsupervised than younger kids and are granted more independence, less supervised hang out time. Beginning of high school, less sex-segregated groups and more mixing. Puberty causes changes like romance (more girls and boys as friends), more. Separate into larger crowds (jocks, popular kids, nerds) distancing from parents. Serve to locate adolescents within the social structure of school. Push some kids towards certain friends and not others. Describe the relationship between adolescents and their crowd: some kids fall in a crowd that is good with peers and good with adults (sports), or only one (nerds or partyers), or neither (delinquents) Influence of the crowd on the individual and using the crowd as a social reference.
