Write an APA format five-page paper reviewing your experiences during adolescence. Your paper should address significant issues and life events that you experienced during adolescence and the effect these events and issues had on you at the time and may currently still have. (Issues that should be addressed include alcohol/drug use, peer pressure, sexuality, body image, family dynamics, etc.) How did issues of diversity affect your adolescence? Discussion of at least two developmental theories (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, Bandura, Kohlberg, Gilligan) must be integrated into your paper. Show how the theories can be used to explain your behavior. For example, you may want to discuss how social learning theory may explain your involvement with certain friends. References should be used in regard to your discussion of theories. Please focus on two theories. Also, make sure you only discuss your ADOLESCENCE.
You must use at least 2 references. When you are using someone else’s work to write your paper, you must give them credit. You must cite your references in every paragraph of your paper; this should be done in APA format (see www.apastyle.org and the way your textbook is written). APA format means you include the author’s last name and the year of publication ONLY of the article inside parentheses when you are referencing the work they presented. The following is an example of a sentence from a paper on depression: Many times depression is linked to anxiety (Myers, 2007).
