WHAT INFLUENCE DO GENDER ROLES HAVE ON ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT?
This question is of particular interest to me due to my desire to become a highschool guidance counselor. I will have to deal with boys and girls equally, but I feel as
though I would be better qualified if I understood some of the major components of their
individual growth. A large factor in this period of change is the role that their own
gender will play upon their upbringing and the decisions that they will make. Society has
set ideals that are expected of both boys and girls and these pressures take their toll on
young and impressionable minds. By having stronger background knowledge of these
issues, I will be better prepared to fulfill the duties of my position.
