Compare and contrast the social world of adolescents, including sexual development today, with that of your own adolescence. What similarities and differences do you find? Think of a middle school, junior high school, or high school with which you are familiar. If you could change the school (academically, structurally, or otherwise), what changes would you make, and why? Were you an early, on-time, or late-maturing adolescent? What impact did your physical development have on your adjustment and your peer group relationships? What effect did it have on your sexual development? Reflect on the development of your cultural identity. How has this aspect of your self-system influenced your life?
