high school

Adolescence is the final transition into adulthood and the world of work. Students decide who they are, what they do well, and what they will do when they graduate from high school. They are searching for a place to belong and need guidance in making concrete decisions. High school years are characterized by evaluation of strengths, skills, and abilities; reliance on peer acceptance and feedback; and separation from parents and family in order to explore and define their independence and plans for the future.
