Teenage Girls and Positive Peer Culture

Adolescence is time spent searching for one’s identity, and teenage girls tend to rely on the influences of those around them, whom they socially associate with especially, for the basis of their moral standards, likes and dislikes, and many other personality traits, so positive peer culture is the foundation of interpersonal relational abilities and a healthy sense of self.  Learn more about what positive peer culture can do for teenage girls by calling 385-414-8865 today.

Positive peer culture consists of teamwork, community service, tolerance, honesty, friendship, and being genuine in character.  When teenage girls fall in with the wrong crowd, they may emulate the negative behavioral traits of the people they are around, which can lead to academic struggles, conflict within the family, and even severe problems like non-medical medication use and addiction.  Facilities such as residential treatment centers incorporate positive peer culture into restorative programs that effect positive behavioral change in teenage girls.
