45/51

Friends

AShow ofHands Teenagers find

security among their peers. Given this,it would not be far fetched to considerthat students may be highly influenced

by the career choices their peer make.


47/51

Habits ofExpectation The influencethat barkada members inflict on eachother is very powerful. Friendsoftentimes advice each other, and theopinions of the core group are highlyvalued. Students may have thetendency to base their decisions onwhich college and course their friendsthink will best suit them, or on whichcollege and course is cool.


48/51

Distance

The location of the school may be a greatobstacle in pursuing ones career path. Thechosen college of the adolescent may be toofar from home, and this maybe a possible

problem.- extensive research on the colleges

around its vicinity

- consider the following

- Lodging facilities near the school- Travel expenses


49/51

Studying in a college or university faraway from home would mean that theteenager will be separated from hisfamily. Being away from the family maybe an advantage because it will teachthe adolescent to rely on himself,thereby making him a moreindependent individual. However, onemay grow homesick or the family mayhave difficulty with such separation.


50/51

in life, it is what you do about it that matters.Going through obstacles is necessary foradolescents to truly appreciate what isworthwhile. Facing these setbacks will make

adolescents become better and strongerpersons
