Adolescents are constantly figuering out their place in society.
As time goes by, they start taking responsabilities (or trying to stay away from them) and navigating adult experiences. 
Moreover, thay are discovering their likes and dislikes.
In the movie, Anna explores new things such as different clothes, music, relationships, among other things, which lead her to explore her inner self.]]> 2020-08-11 01:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675103381 DEVELOPMENT OF GROUP COHESION aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675105395 During adolescence the individual starts to feel the need to belong to a group. During this period, the development of group cohesion occur. 

During the movie we can see this cange of the main character's personality and, therefore, how she changes her friends. 
When she was a child, Anna and Stacy used to be friends but during adolescence they both developed different personalities and started to belong to different groups.

Therefore, we thought of these two categories:
Ingroup- People with whom we share a common identity. Outgroup- Those perceived as different or apart from our ingroup.
Ex: Anna and her friends are considered the ingroup, while Stacey and her friends are considered the outgroup.

EX: Anna drives taking advantage of being able to use her mother's driving licence. 
-Anna's mother forbid her to ride a motorbike.]]> 2020-08-11 02:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675107259 MORAL DEVELOPMENT aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675110678 During the latest years of childhood and adolescence the individual goes through the PRECONVENTIONAL LEVEL of moral development. One of the main characteristics of this stage is that the subject is rooted in a individualistic perspective and their actions are guided for the self-interest.

The main conflict of the movie is that Anna is constantly focusing in her own interests without taking into account her responsibilities. 
One example of this is that she is willing to miss her mother's rehearsal dinner in order to be able to participate in the "Wango Tango" auditions.
Another example is the fact that she ruins her mother's book interview without contemplating what it could cause to her carreer.]]> 2020-08-11 02:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675110678 RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARENTS aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675113102 Mother's lack of understanding.
Father died 3 years ago. 
Bad relationship with the stepfather.

During adolescents the individuals wants to separate from their parents to form their own identity and look for their new role in society. ]]> 2020-08-11 02:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675113102 IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING. aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675117752 Unlike Tess Coleman, Anna's stepfather Ryan, motivates and allows Anna to assist to the Wango Tango audition. During this scene (the rehearsal dinner scene) he says he want to give Anna her own space instead of pushing her to have a good relationship with him. This clearly denotes he understands and respects the adolescents' mindset.]]> 2020-08-11 02:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675117752 IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675141831 The desire for more privacy is a natural part of growing up. As teens get older, they begin to face big challenges, like learning what kind of person they are, where they fit in, and what they want to do in life.
As teens grow up, they want to be trusted to do more things than they did were when they were younger. They also want to be thought of as mature, responsible, and independent. Giving teens some space and privacy can work wonders for their development. Not only do they feel trusted, but they also feel capable and confident.
When teens believe their parents have invaded their privacy, the result is often more conflicts at home.

Lack of privacy examples:
 1. when the Tess Coleman (the mother) takes the door out. 
2. When Anna, who is trapped in Tess' body, tells the patient she must not read her daughter's diary.

Many times the peer's pressure or the need to belong to a certain group influence the decision the invidivual makes. 

During the movie, Anna is constantly influenced by her friends' opinions. 
An example of this is when Maddie and Peg (Anna's best friends) force her to go to the auditions eventhough she tells them she prefers to stay in the rehearsal dinner.  ]]> 2020-08-11 02:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675155469 SWAP BODIES aguuslavia https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675190381 The ideas of "If I were you" or "if only whings had been different" are necessary to work with this concept.
During adolescence (and adulthood) people go through discontentment and a feeling of being trapped
There is an assumption that things would be better, if different.
 
When swapping bodies, both characters, Tess and Anna, learn to understand one another and they try to accept things as they are, focusing on the positive things and showing empathy. 

Ex: Auditions (Tess finally understand why Anna is so pationate about her music)
- Rehearsal dinner speech (Anna gives her mom's marriage her blessing)]]> 2020-08-11 03:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675190381 GENDER ROLE sollsantamaria https://padlet.com/aguuslavia/k4gjbp6xq2dqtzp2/wish/675246423 In other words, we could find a set of expected behaviors for males or for females.
Ex: Anna and Tess (her mother) are expected to act feminine and to cook and clean for their family.
