Peer pressure, social media influence, and societal beauty standards are main factors that cause teenagers to think more about self image. Additionally, hormonal changes, body development, and desire for social acceptance also contribute to increased focus on self-image during adolescence.

What are the differences of the teenagers today and of the teenagers of 1950's?

teenagers in the 1950's were much more indepent and creative i think because there wasnt as many muderers and child melesters and kidnappers and horrible things like that going on as much as there is now so adults didnt have to worry as much. teenagers didnt have much to do back then eather like not much computers,tv,phones and things like that. so they were outside making forts with old mattresses and standing ontop of roofs throwing pinecones at each other like war and using trashcan tops and shields.


Which is NOT a factor that affects teenagers ability to resist peer pressure and stand up for their own values?

A lot of things keep teenagers from standing up to their values. It is in their nature to be affected by it as they are still exploring the world and a lot of hormonal changes in their body make them emotionally vulnerable. The new found info about the world also makes them sometimes go against their parents, mentally as they think they were not aware of the actual world and were in some fool's paradise as shown by the elders. They thus develop an exploratory nature and indulge in things they wouldn't normally indulge in. Moreover, they are in a stage when they want to get accepted by the world and they start with their peer group. Thus they do things which they think will make them more acceptable.

Why do hormones cause teens to engage in specific high risk behaviors?

As you grow older and start to do certain actions, the hormones begin to increase and shake. For example, if you have sex, the hormones are most likely to be active. Most teenagers are unknown to sex and get extremely curious what it would be like (It is proven that teenagers think 80% of their free time about sex). So, teenagers are unknown to it and want to know what it's like. Trying to make a feeling out of it (when you think about sex) makes the hormones shake because you are unknown to the feeling, you don't know how you'll react to it, or how it feels. Risk behaviors have to do with the things you do, and hormones trigger when something unknown is present.


What is positive self image?
