ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION The Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development (1995) states that the goals for adolescents are as follows:

• Become a valued member in a constructive group. • Learn how to form and maintain long-term and satisfying relationships. • Develop a sense of self-worth. • Learn a process for making appropriate choices. • Begin to tap into available support systems. • Find ways to access constructive curiosity and exploratory behavior. • Become altruistic. • Believe in a promising future.
