Assignment Task: Concerns of Adolescence
What critical factor do you believe has the greatest influence on whether a teenager develops a particular disorder or life event of the type we are reviewing this week-eating disorder, substance abuse disorder, early pregnancy, self-injury ("cutting"), gender identity, or other health concern?
Pick one of these to discuss, and present how your thinking has evolved over the course of this class. How do you look at the causes and treatment for a particular disorder or life event differently than you would have before this class began?
