Which of the following would be a typical priority for an adolescent? Being:
a. A good student
b. Sexually active

d. Able to function independently
C
The developmental task during adolescence is to establish personal identity. Socially, preteens and teens are driven by a need to belong to a group (e.g., be on the soccer team). School-age children need to receive positive reinforcement for accomplishments and desired behavior, such as being good students. Although a small number of preadolescents are sexually active, it is not the major focus for this age. Functioning independently is a task for the young adult.
