He saw the first stages of adrenarche at the age of 13, where he saw axillary and pubic hair begin growing and his height began to increase. His sexual desires begin to peak at the age of 14 where he started watching pornographic material and his testicles saw enlargement.

As an adolescent, his "gray matter" and "white matter" is going through changes which affect his ability to  make good judgment decisions. He choose to spend time with people who had a negative influence and pressured him into vaping. This poor behavior is affecting his ability to stay in school and maintain good grades.

However, the peers that he associates with at school alters his ability to stay focused on his academic achievements. Based upon his IQ, Tyrone is considered gifted with a score of 130. Even with his giftedness, he has no complications or limitations when it comes to emotional relationships . He interacts with so many people at school with positive energy.

In school he is able to separate the important information from the irrelevant which allows him to succeed in his academic achievements due to the lack of distractions. However, while doing his homework he will either listen to music or watch videos, which makes it hard for him to focus. The distractions of his phone causes a barrier in his attention span.

He has excellent hearing and 20/20 vision. His sense of smell has developed and he is able to smell hormonal changes in women. He is able to use this new sensitivity to smell to pick a potential girlfriend. He also has recently started to prefer sour candy rather than sweet candy which shows an evolution in his sense of taste as he gets older. He has learned that he now likes foods that he previously disliked such as broccoli.

He answered by stating he would put it on his forehead. He was asked the same question at the age of twelve, where he stated he would put a third eye on the palm of his hand.This newfound usage of formal thought went to Tyrone's head leading to adolescent egocentrism and his cognitive mindset changing. He often yells at his parents saying "You don't understand what I'm going through", which is due to his own personal fables. He also begins to think about his future life and what career he might want to pursue.

He is very proactive at taking notes during class and reviewing the information at the end of the class to help his information retrieval. Tyrone's brain now processes information more quickly, so when he is reviewing his notes he is able to process larger amounts than younger students. These changes in his brain allows him to have greater access to his working memory, allowing him to perform better academically.

He started volunteering around his community working at a local soup kitchen on the weekends. This made his moral identity strengthen, leading him to staying away from the wrong crowds which could negatively affect his thinking. His parents focused on raising him through positive youth development, which made him a valuable member of society who loves giving back. Tyrone, like many other teenage boys, shows an interest in "violent" video games such as Call of Duty, but he has yet to show signs of antisocial and aggressive behavior.

All of his friends are playing a sport so he feels as if he needs to pick a sport to play to fit in. His friends are also involved in partying, smoking weed, and drinking. This is causing Tryrone to compromise his morals so that he can fit in and be accepted by his friends. All of this peer pressure is distracting him from his academic responsibilities and is causing his grades to slip. In order to fix this predicament, Tyrone has to learn how to separate his social life from his school life and how to prioritize.

He considered soccer a hobby and had little to no thought about progressing it into a professional career. His parents pushed him to play on a club team and his high school team, but he second guessed his abilities.

He tries to gain peer approval by dressing nice, hanging out with other popular people and being likeable. His peers have a large influence on his personality and decisions.

However in some cases it can cause a negative outlook in a individual morality, that is essentially  based on the experiences that they go through between the ages of 14-18 years old. Based upon Tyrone's outlook of life in school and off the field, he  has the tendency to try to fit in with his friends and teammates by doing what they do on the day to day basis, such as smoking weed or drinking. In which the outcome is affecting his academic performance in the classroom and even on the soccer.

Tyrone is in stage five of identity versus role confusion. After mastering the first four stages, Tyrone has a better understanding of who he is and who he wants to be. After he decided to try soccer, he learned he was really good at it and loved the game so he decided that he wanted to work hard to try to become a professional. He knew that his giftedness would allow him to meet his academic requirements to get there.

As a "popular" student, Tyrone and his male friends bully other students who have different gender orientations. This is tied to gender intensification, in which gender differences are increased by puberty (hormonal changes) and pressure to fit in to your gender role. This causes an intolerance of deviation from gender-role expectations.

He has had a difficult time processing his death as they were very close. This loss of a close family member can attribute to some of Tyrone's recent bad decisions. He tries to act strong and present himself to his family that he has fully accepted his grandfather's death to not seem abnormal or overdependent.

Based upon his father being a Professional soccer player for the country of Scotland, and her mother being a professor at the University of California Berkeley. In Tyrone's mind state he felt like he had to follow his father footsteps by being committed to the game of soccer. Which led his parents to be assertive towards his goals of being an athlete and focus on his studies.

Studies have shown that adolescence perform worse than adults in working memory, speed of processing, and verbal ability testing. With Tyrone already being highly gifted, his social cognition skills are already impressive compared to young adults. His social cognitive abilities will continue to grow across his adolescence years moving into adulthood.
