It relates because it gives us understanding of how an adolecent thinks and is dealing with in their life.

Is for us to research what's an adolescent's relationship with their parents and peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that adolescent's relationship with thier parents or peers dont always have to negitive.

The large group exerts a general pressure on its members. It directs the trends in clothing, music, entertainment, and "political correctness". The pressure to conform varies. It is not usually a spoken or written guideline; it's just what "everyone" is doing.

This source explains that a adolescent's peers can effect how they dress and what they like. It can also affect how they think politically. Adolescents want to fit in with society so they will try to do what the world wants them to like and dislike. It can also bring to the pint where an adolecent sees what clique or group they belong with because on how they are dressed.

Just as people can influence others to make negative choices, they can also influence them to make positive ones. A teen might join a volunteer project because all of his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because the social group he or she belongs to thinks getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, try out for sports, or follow new artistic interests.

I decided on this source because peer pressure isn't always negative. A adolescent can revolve around good students or friends that want them to succeed. They might join school functions and become more social.

They may isolate, tease, or bully each other. They may promote attitudes and behaviors that parents don’t like. And they can put a lot of pressure on each other to be sexually active; use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; and engage in other risky behaviors.

This source talks about how a adolescent's friends can effect thier behaviors and risk of being sexual and being exposed to drugs. Adolescents begin to be curous about these things and want to experiment because their peers might tease them if they dont do it.

However, adolescents live in different family structures.

Intact Nuclear (and biological)

Single Parent (biological)

Intact Nuclear (adoptive)

Single Parent (adoptive)

Intact (blended)

{Heterosexual;Homosexual}

Single parent (step)

Intergenerational

Extended, without parent

{e.g., Child-Aunt}

In loco parentis families/institutions

Foster Care Homes

Group Homes

Psychiatric hospitals

Residential treatment facilities

Juvenile detention facilities

Runaways

Street children/youth

{e.g., Adolescent prostitutes}

Homeless children

This variation influences both the way parents interact with youth and, in turn, the behavior of adolescents.

This source explains how a adolescent's relationship with their parent can differ deeping on their upbrining or culture. Culture plays a big role on how a adolescent's realtionship is because of who their caregiver's are and if they are adopted, have gay parents or have a single parent.

Nonetheless, parents continue to play a key role in influencing their adolescent’s development. Adolescent-parent attachment has profound effects on cognitive, social and emotional functioning. Secure attachment is associated with less engagement in high risk behaviours, fewer mental health problems, and enhanced social skills and coping strategies.

I selected this source because a parent of an adolescent still has an attachment to their child as if they were an infant. It can affect their adolescent if they have mental or health issues or social problems.

They perceived themselves as gaining in responsibility, dominance, independence, and similarity from infancy to the present, whereas they portrayed their parents as experiencing a decline on these dimensions. For variables indicating closeness and love, however, there was a striking discontinuity in these linear trends: Although adolescents perceived linear trends from infancy to adolescence, they depicted their current relationships as involving a great deal more love and closeness.

This source gives great information because it explains that adolescents feel like their parents are holding them back from being independent and having responsibilitues.
