At my placement, most of the children like playing outdoors. They like playing soccer, baseball, basketball, dodgeball or passing the ball.

There is a significant amount of controversy surrounding whether or not it is reliable to make a diagnosis of any personality disorder in adolescence, in particular borderline personality disorder. This stems from the constant misdiagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in general. Thorough examination is required to accurately identify this disorder, and attempting to make this judgment at a point when one is not yet fully developed makes the prospect of it seem somewhat irrational.
