** Social Changes Experienced by Adolescents ** The process of adolescence contains different social changes for the individual. In the years between becoming a teenager at the age of thirteen and becoming an adult, the way someone operates in society changes. An adult is a lot more independent than a teenager; therefore an adult has a greater deal of social rights and responsibilities. These responsibilities are acquired gradually as a teenager matures. For example when a teenager is thirteen he or she can’t drive a car, drink, and vote, gain a criminal record or live without a parent or guardian. This has changed by the time a person is twenty. A twenty year old is able to do all these things, therefore it is considered that most twenty year olds do drink, vote, drive and can, if charged, get a criminal record and nearly all twenty year olds live without adult supervision. Due to a changed degree of responsibility and independence, the social environment of the adult is also different. In the process of adolescence, teenagers will make friends outside school and family. The group of people they know will expand; this is a very positive change. This expansion may be the result of moving out of home or finding individual interests through either school or new friends. To conclude, not only does the amount of social responsibility held by a teenager grow in the process of adolescence, this growth may also cause a change in the social environment of the teenager. Adolescence is a time of many social changes. =====
