Describe what you believe to be two of the main functions of the peer group for adolescents. Did your peer group provide this for you? Give examples

What will be an ideal response?

can help to negotiate conflicts at home or with one's culture. The student should
provide specific examples of when the peer group did or did not live up to these
functions.
