Adolescent Development
Share your thoughts on adolescent development. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Describe your reactions to the podcast Speaking of Psychology: Marijuana: The Brain Changer. What was surprising? How can you apply this information?
- Discuss how racism or sexism can affect adolescent development. How are some specific vulnerabilities that adolescents experience related to racism and sexism?
- Share a link to an outside resource (image, video, credible professional or scholarly article, research study, Web resource) that highlights normative versus non-normative risk-taking. Why do you think this resource was important to share?
- Share which of the readings this week offered information you can use right away at school, home, or work.
