How has your parent to child relationship been affected with growing up?
Good, parents are very supportive/demanding of doing well in school. As grades get
harder demands become stronger and closer to college there is more support than previous years.
Push for excellence or as close as you can get.
Friendships are important at every stage (Berger. 2016. pg. 359) By observing and
interviewing Henry in a social setting where many of his peers where you could tell the
importance of these relationships and what they met to him. What I found interesting his that
Henry mentioned that with age and growing up he tended to hang out or socialize with people
that had similar interests as him. We talked about this in class and how our friend groups start to
change based on the Identity and Role we take on in adolescences.
Biological Development
What visible changes did you notice during and after puberty?
Voice dropped, so does everyones though. More growth of hair EVERYWHERE. Along
with height. Those are the big ones Ive noticed but there are probably more.
Do you feel that body-image can be problematic during puberty? If so why?
Yes, because others fear how people look at them and they try to change themselves to
meet the demands of others instead of focusing on other more important things in their life.
Compared to your friends, do you feel that puberty affected you the same or differently?
Affected him the same, because it happened to a lot of us at the same time. We were
more concerned about ourselves and the changes we were experiencing then all of our other
friends.
This set of developmental questions, listening to Henrys answers were extremely
interesting. It was like he had read our textbook or was sitting in class as we talked about it.
Some of his answers were extremely similar to what the book talks about. The body-image
question for instance people fear how others look at them. The definition of body image in the
book is a persons idea of how his or her body looks, especially related to size and shape.
(Berger. 2016. pg. 324) It was extremely similar and once again Henry was very advanced in this
developmental stage than where he should be for his age. Henry understood the effects of
puberty and the stages that they go through. He has a good grasp on what his taking place in his
life and his personal development in these three stages.
