...social roles of females and males. This paper will discuss the different types of aggression and how each type is used within the female and male peer groups. Aggression has been defined as having five central features: Intention to harm, unprovoked, happens repeatedly, victim perceives the bully as having power, and occurring in small groups. There are two distinct forms of aggression within this definition, overt (physical) and relational (verbal). Crick and Grotpeter (1995) state that the distinction between overt and relational aggression is related to gender. To be specific, the types of aggressive behaviors displayed within peer groups differ between same-sex groups. It was previously assumed that girls used strictly relational aggression in contrast to boys who primarily used overt forms of aggression. Research shows that levels...

They argue that this could be due to the fact that women who readily give in are considered as too sexual lowering their self-esteem while men who profess their desire for casual sex are taken as normal since it is taken that the desire for sex in men is hard wired.

...conceptualize and guided by the following relevant theory: Social Learning Theory. Bandura’s (1993) vicarious conditioning/social learning theory stressed that behavior patterns are developed through observation and direct experience within biological limits. It emphasizes that human behavior is the mutual interaction between cognitive behavioral and environmental dominants. People are affected by external forces although they can choose how to behave. Bandura further claims that one effect of observation of models can lead to the acquisitionof responses and to the change of frequency of behavior already learned. Social learning theory explains human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive behavioral and environmental influences. Within the process of reciprocal determinism lies the opportunity for people to influence their destiny as well as the limits of self-direction. A direct and complex interaction may positive interactive reflection of a good relationship. It is clearly important that for any individual, a constructive environment may help to maximize his full potentials in dealing with future undertakings; the parents and significant others place more importance influencing the total-well-being of an individual. The child’s first place of contact with the world is the family. The child, as a result requires initial education and socialization from parents and other significant persons in the family. The parents are, in short, the child’s...

...commitment and pure relationship In 1980, Sharon Thompson conducted an investigation about the attitudes values and sexual behavior of American teenagers. She discovered major differences between the way boys and girls discussed this topic. She found that the boys were not in a position to talk much about sex. The boys only talked about sex in a briefed manner that appears it only occurs at different intervals in time. What she discovered on girls was contrary to the boys. The girls seemed to understand this topic very well that they discussed lengthy on the topic with very little contribution from the interviewer. Sharon concluded that girls are more addicted to love and romance than boys. Thompson concluded that romance gears sexuality in a way that sexual activities are seen as a way an ultimate relationship. However, this affects mostly the girls because girls breaking their virginity is considered as a loss while boy’s first sexual experience is considered as again. Boys tend to force sexual activities while girls prefer to take it slow. Virginity in girls is seen as something given up. Thompsons concluded that sexual diversity exist along the persistence of romance thoughts although it is not easy at times. This was discovered from the lesbians interview where they found it irresistible than the heterosexuals. Thompson discovered that girls she spoke to did not have to fight to attain sexual freedom. These freedoms exist it is upon the girl to make the right choices...

...To start off with, relationships. Oh boy, what could we say about this topic. Relationships are what most teenagers worry about. Does this boy like me, does this girl like me. How can I impress him/her? Students go around during school worrying more about if they look "hot" or if the boy/girl they are crushing on is noticing them. This effects student's school work. Students focus more on what's going on in their personal life with their relationship and cannot focus on their school work. If the guy or girl that they are crushing on or in a relationship with is in any of the same classes, it could cause distractions and lower your grades. You push off your school work, and worry about them. It's hard to have a relationship with someone sometimes especially when you see them at school all the time and something happens. Say you get into a fight or something, then you are extremely upset all day and start to cry. All day, all you think about is if you guys are going to be okay, and what is going to happen. I've done it. I know it's extremely hard to focus but you just have to try. Relationships are a big part of an average teenagers life, and they are usually pretty hard to keep strong. Another thing i've done, is just pushed off my homework and hung out with whoever I was dating and then started to get low grades. My mom was extremely upset and told me that if me having a boyfriend was going to effect my grades then there was going to be a lot of consequences. If you just mainly...
