During early to middle adolescence, children feel that they are exempt from the consequences of risk-taking behaviors: they believe negative consequences happen only to others. Impressing peers is more typically the factor influencing behavior of older school-age children. Mastering the environment is the task of young school-age children. Emancipation is a major issue for the older adolescent. The process is accomplished as the teenager gains an education or vocational training.
