Leila's feelings reflect the "personal fable" aspect of an adolescent's egocentrism.Personal Fable is a conviction held by numerous young people disclosing to them that they are exceptional and extraordinary, to such an extent that none of life's challenges or issues will influence them regardless of their conduct. Some studies have demonstrated that faith in the personal fable is associated with regular hazard taking practices, for example, unbridled or unprotected sex, utilization of liquor or illegal medications, and physically perilous acts, for example, driving without a permit or driving rashly etc.
