Psychological Challenges The notable psychological challenge that the adolescent must cope with is moving from childhood to adulthood. A new person is emerging, thus, rules will change, and more responsibilities will be placed on him/her, so a certain standard of behavior is now required to be maintained. A

Development Through the Help of Significant People
Lesson 6 Significant People in Life
Influential People in My Life
Parents
Parents are the first people who introduce you to life. They provide shelter, protection, and sense of security no matter what happens. The concept of home is formed coupled with love and much sacrifices that either your mother or father is willing to give. When you want to hear honest opinion about the things you need to improve, they would never hesitate to tell exactly what needs to be done.
Parents play the largest role in a person’s mental, emotional, physical, and social development. They teach you the first valuable lessons in life that became an integral part of your personality as you continue to discover the world. They get involved with your education and happy to see you achieve and discover potentials. Parents advices are far more important than any other people’s advices in terms of making sound decisions in life.
Siblings
Siblings are friends within a family. They extend valuable help whenever you are in need of assistance. They teach you the concept of socialization, mutual understanding, and respect. Like friendship, your relationship with your sister or brother requires communication and acceptance. As you grow older you realize their significant part in your life and continue to establish close ties among them.
Although disagreements are normal part among siblings, it is important to understand that all of you have sets of differences. Sibling bond is nothing compared with any other bonds in the world if its foundation is anchored with much love and appreciation.
Friends
Friends are like extended siblings who came from different families. They give us a sense of belongingness for an individual would always want to be part of something. Friends also teach us the value of love, respect, understanding, and acceptance. They help us improve in our social connection, emotional stability, and inspires our intellectual capacity. True friends support only what is good and reject what is not. They refuse to tolerate unacceptable behavior and seek to correct your shortcomings. Friends bring out the best in a person and they share mutual interest, hobbies, and aspirations
Teachers
Teachers are the second parents in school. They help you improve your intellectual and emotional capacity to handle difficult situations life. They guide you to understand the valuable lessons about life that would last for a lifetime. Their influence does not fade because they provide exceptional impact towards self-realization and self-discovery. Teachers walk along the progress of the leaners; that makes it more memorable and enduring for life. Good teachers inspire learners to do better in making decisions. Being the role model in class, they set example to leaners who need much guidance in school.
Community Leaders
Community leaders provide network connections and linkages among other parts of the community. They inspire adolescents to get involved with community services through outreach programs, social activities, and volunteer works. They model innovation to help improve the community whom they serve. Effective leaders set inspiration to others by setting a good example by following the policies that they try to implement. Using their charisma, they tend to persuade others to follow them; thus, they can generate many programs to address the needs of the people. Adolescents like you can learn from their accomplishments and may get inspired to become servant-leaders in the future.

Significant People in Life Are Also Agents of Socialization
Self-improvement comes with an effective interaction of the different agencies within the society.
Family as the most important agent of socialization, has given you the knowledge of self-care. As you learn to take care of yourself, this is also done towards the way you deal with other agents in the society. Parents teach the value of relationship.
Peers would always have a great deal of influence in your life. It is rightful; therefore, for parents to feel worried about the circle of friends you opt to get involved with.
Teachers are also special agents we see in school, a place where many exiting memories are forged through time, as we collaborate with peers.
Community Leaders need to develop selfless future leaders, as well. Since they have an important role in community development, they are extending so much help in addressing the needs of adolescents.
