//Social Changes//

For both sexes the following social changes will occur during the time of adolescence. Most of these changes are caused because of peer pressure, fitting in with others, and changes in greater social maturity (supposedly). The teen’s hobbies and interests will change. For example instead of watching and talking about cartoons or toys at school with your mates you will talk about sports and older more mature things. The main reason for this is because of people deeming the show cool or not cool, which is a form of peer pressure. Most teens will want to fit in with other people. They will want to be like everyone else. To be different will be a bad thing. Which is a very bad change, but it does happen. When the teenager was young, he/she didn’t really care about what other people thought about him/her. To be different is to be weird and some peer groups do not accept that in adolescence years. Peer pressure will become more dominant in his/her life. He/she will do things just to fit in with others, just to be the one that isn’t the odd one out. He/she will want all the latest things, and gadgets, just because everyone else has one. Most will be pickier with their friends and have their own social group of people who they hang out with and who they don’t. Usually teens will choose people who they don’t want to hang out with, rather than who they don’t want to. As long as they’re not negative people. Boys become more attracted to girls and girls to boys. So this will also change social grouping will change even more so. Most teens become more prone to selfishly paying other people out for popularity at other people’s expense and to show off to girls.

The teen will start joining social networking groups on the internet, such as facebook and MSN just to stay in touch with friends eventhough they are not with them. All so to expand their social grouping. The use of the mobile phone will become more promenent with the teenager and he/she will start to use it alot more to talk to frriends and others.

You will want to hang out with your friends more and sort of distance yourself from your parents because they will start trying to stop you from doing stupid things with them and is isn't wrong that they want to do that, so keep that in mind if they try
