I have seen more students develope abstact thoughts on self image than on any other line of thought. Most thoughts are driven by peer pressure, but over a period of time they move towards questioning their validity. Students that are exposed to a greater variety of social behaviors have more options to choose, but the reinforcement of peers takes time to overcome. It is one of the joys of seeing a adolescent mature as they become aware of their own importance and how they can influence their own enviroment. If they are reinforced at this point of awakening, they can become greatly motivated to a higher level of achievement.
