This period of development is known as adolescence. Tracy: A Case Study I have been a child and adolescent psychologist for almost twenty years. During this time, the dilemmas of what transpires within some families when a child reaches adolescence have not changed. However, there has been a variation, due to the changing culture of our society, in how these “no longer children, not yet adults” handle this phase of development. With a rapidly changing body and brain, adolescents seek out the independence they crave, while still not having the capacity or capability to truly be on their own.
Another sign could be, becoming obsessed with gangster music, videos, and movies to the point of imitation. Any withdraws from family with an accompanying change in demeanor.

Adolescence is a delicate time in one’s life because it is the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood and is a time when a young person goes through the stage of identity-versus-identity confusion.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE ROLE OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT; HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR JOY MWENDWA, MA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE CHRISTIAN COUNSELING FOR MARRIAGE & FAMILY CCOU 301-B12 BY Joe Student Somewhereville, South Texas MARCH 8, 2014 INTRODUCTION In the western industrialized nations parents seem to be withdrawing from being actively involved in the lives of their children as their children enter into adolescence. Somehow, it seems that in the interest of trying to give their children all that they never had and to give their kids the privacy that they yearned for as children; parents seem to be confused about what the role of a parent should be during the adolescent journey of their children.

Pornography Is Harmful To Women and Children Let it be known that the purpose of this paper is to argue that pornography is harmful to society, but more specifically women and children. Unlike any other media representation of sex and sexuality, pornography within our postmodern society has become a cultural category of significance.
