====Social Changes During puberty, you will become more independent. This may mean that you'll be spending a lot more time with friends or in private than with your perants. You may also want more freedom and the ability to make your own decisions, which will probably cause an argument from time to time with your perants. Peer pressure The older you get the more time you are going to be spending with friends than with your family. With the increased amount of time, that you are spending with you friends this can lead to friends influencing your thinking and behaviour. Peer pressure can also become a negative influence in your life, such as having unprotected sex, drinking or even doing drugs. Having a good relationship with your family increases the chance that you will go to your family for advice about decisions or problems that you are facing. Talk to your family about peer pressure, make sure that you understand it can be both good and bad. ====
