Physical changes include the loss of "baby fat," the legs become longer and thinner, and they move around with improved dexterity (Landers, 2013). Parents notice that their children begin to talk incessantly using complete sentences. Children at this age listen intently to interesting stories. In early childhood, preschoolers become possessive with their belongings or with an object that they are playing with, asserting their rights by the "mine" theory. If they possess a strong sense of self, they are more capable of reasoning and cooperating in resolving a dispute (Berk, 2010).

Maybe we didn’t have parallel stories but after reading a while I could understand the lives of the character a bit more. Darry, being the oldest, had to step up into the "adult world" and began with responsibilities that Sodapop and Ponyboy thought were no longer fun like he used to be. Soda pop being the middle one, had a bit of a more stable relation with both extremes of the family both the youngest and oldest, and even though he dropped out of school to help his family he still had that spark of youth that attracted lots of ladies which I personally admire.

As children grow, they learn about what is normal in their society. They learn how to behave by the ones they are around the most; parents, babysitters, grandparents and other family members and friends. When children reach puberty, their bodies go through changes, and some teenagers can be confused by sexual feelings they might be having. By the time they are out of high school, they decide if they want to get a job, go to college or marry their high school sweetheart and start a family. Mid-life is about the time when people are more goal
Users build up a tolerance and give way to a physical dependency upon the drug, making the addict need larger and larger doses. Also, once worn off, physical and psychological withdrawal set in. When a user cannot get narcotics, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, convulsions and severe pain can set in. Many people neglect their basic responsibilities such as eating. Narcotic addiction may cause collapsed veins, infections underneath the skin, pockets of infections in the heart and lungs, infection with hepatitis B and even HIV/AIDS.
Education is when some people consciously teach and others learn from the teacher. If we all teach our kids around the world to be better than we are, regardless of living circumstances, we will change social. The girl theory, is so heart breaking because I feel it is so true. It seems the older I get, the preteen pregnancy is getting worse. In most cases I believe preteen pregnancy is a reflection of that little girls life.
David C. Dugdale states that drug abuse can slowly turn into dependency, due to many internal factors, including stress, emotional distress, anxiety, and depression (2010). On another note, Kristina Fiore, staff writer of Medpage Today says, drug abuse is formed by nature and nurture. There is a strong influence to drug abuse that shows the relation of both nature and nurture. There are higher risk from parents who’ve done drugs, and a high risk of drug abuse if drugs were a trend in the environment. (2012) Preventions of drug abuse are always mentioned, however the nature of it, and where the mind of if we were born to do so or if the surroundings are the ones who allow us to resort to drug abuse.
Adolescence starts between the ages of 11-18 years. Adolescents encounter lots of stressful events during this stage such as puberty, coping with new feelings, moving from junior high to high school or elementary to middle school, and meeting different types of expectations.
