Question

Determine if the following statement is true or false:

Teenage boys define themselves principally by their accomplishments and by their perception of themselves as competent individuals.

Answer 1

The statement given above is about teenage boys and their point of perspective about self-esteem. During teenage years, since there is not too much to brag but school accomplishments, they tend to rely on these accomplishments to make themselves worthy. This is the case of most teens

Answer 2

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Teenage boys tend to define themselves on the basis of social groups that are inserted and not on their achievements.

Social groups have a grid influence on how adolescents define themselves. In adolescence there are many doubts, uncertainties, concerns and especially young people want to show who they are. There are the challenges of today and tomorrow. Teenagers believe it is their friends of their age who will understand them because they are having the same problems. The role of the friend in the life of this adolescent acts as a kind of mirror, where they recognize each other, know each other and desire the same things and end up defining themselves based on this friendship.
