Define and distinguish among rejected, neglected, and controversial adolescents. Briefly describe possible long-term consequences of unpopularity during adolescence

What will be an ideal response


Rejected adolescents are actively disliked by peers; they tend to be aggressive, disruptive, argumentative, and lack social skills to make and keep friends. Consequences include: higher rates of aggression-related problems and greater likelihood of dropping out of school. • Neglected adolescents are neither liked nor disliked strongly by peers; they are "unnoticed" by their peers, are usually shy and withdrawn, and lack social skills to make and keep friends. Consequences: low self-esteem, loneliness, depression, alcohol abuse. • Controversial adolescents generate mixed responses among peers, strongly disliked by some and strongly liked by others; they tend to be aggressive, but also possess strong social skills.
