Adolescence doesn't occur in a vacuum. Throughout this course you have discoveredthat the early experiences of an individual greatly influence their later development.Yet, inthe caseof early negative experiences, mostindividuals are eventually able to "right" themselves. In other words, they turn out okay as adults.

Why do you think this happens? On the flip side, what makes certain individuals more vulnerable (i.e., continue on a negative pathway of development, never "righting" themselves)? Defend your position with evidence from the textbook or your own research.
