Adolescence Peers

747 Words

To most adolescents, how their peers see them can play an important role on their everyday lives. When I look back on my adolescent years, I can recall a lot of enjoyable times with my peers such as talking on telephone till I was tired, going to places like the mall, movies, and out to eat, or just plain hanging out. According to the book, peers are children or adolescents who are about the same age or maturity level. Peers can also provide a source of information about the world outside of the family. Especially being an only child, I probably would have been an antisocial and depressed person if it wasn't for my peers because I was able to express my feelings, thoughts, and problems with someone that relates to me and my age.
