deflating comments or criticism sometimes have
debilitating effects

with people, things, and new ideas.
• Most early adolescents enjoy team sports, thrive
on competition, work hard at perfecting athletic
skills, and respect good sportsmanship.

intellectual pursuits, few of which are sustained
• Prefer active over passive learning experiences
• Are generally idealistic, desiring to make the
world a better place and to become socially
useful

intensity and unpredictability
