Social Change

Social changes

are the ways your relationships, interactions, and social roles change as you grow and develop.

There are also changes in your social life during puberty. Read the following to learn more about the social change:

Peer Pressure

• As boys grow older, fitting in becomes very important.
• Boys may copy friends’ behavior, even when it doesn’t feel right.
• Choosing positive friends helps reduce negative peer pressure.

Increased Desire for Independence

• As you grow, you want more control over your life.
• You may want to spend more time with friends or by yourself than with your parents.
• Strong feelings can lead to quick decisions.
• Be careful not to make serious choices you may regret later.

Remember!

Listening to your parents doesn’t mean losing freedom it means learning.
