Utilizes current research on juvenile behavior to conclude that while parents are obviously responsible to some degree for the actions of their children, there is a point in time in any parental situation where a parent’s influence loses out to that of peers or society in general.

Juvenile Gangs.
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) Generally, for purposes of this discussion,
a gang can be considered to be a loosely organized
group of individuals who collaborate together for
social reasons. Modern day gangs now collaborate
together for anti-social reasons. Gangs generally
have a leader or group of leaders who issue orders
and reap the fruits of the gang's activities. A
gang may also wear their "colors", wear certain t
ypes of clothing, tattoos, brands, or likewise
imprint their gang's name, logo, or other
identifying marks on their bodies. Many gangs also
adopt certain types of hairstyles and communicate
through the use of hand signals and graffiti on
walls, streets, school work, and school property.
It must be understood that it is not illegal to be
in a gang and indeed many adults are currently
involved in activities that meet Webster's
definition for a gang. However, many gangs of t
oday, especially youthful gangs, break the law to
provide funding for gang activities or to further
the gang's reputation on the streets.

Loss Of Their Mother, Living With An Alcoholic Father: Impact Upon 3 Teenage Girls
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. After their mother's death, the eldest daughter (18) fell into the role of mother of her younger twin siblings. Up until recently, the twins used to ride horses everyday; their reason for stopping is unclear but presumed to be directly connected with the manner by which their entire lives have been turned upside down. One of them has become very promiscuous and verbally abusive, while the other has become promiscuous and a pot smoker. The eldest daughter, who is a good girl and very serious about her caretaker position, is frustrated over how the girls are not looking to her as a role model. Although she tries to socialize some with her friends and maintain a semblance of normalcy in her own life, she is generally very depressed and has been on an anti-depressant since her mother's death. What pains her the most is how her father is an 'absentee parent.' Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Middle Child Syndrome
[ send me this paper ]
31 pages in length. With the trials and tribulations of Jan Brady firmly entrenched in the American psyche, one might have thought that the Middle Child Syndrome was nothing more than a spoiled brat acting out her insecurities no
differently than any other child. However, since the time of The Brady Bunch more than two decades ago, the psychological community has come to realize that there is, indeed, an issue of self-esteem with regard to middle children. Parents who have three children do not consciously realize the varied ways in which they relate to each child, inasmuch as the eldest child typically maintains
a role of responsibility; the youngest assumes the role as baby; and the middle child gets lost somewhere in the shuffle. Given no identity like his or her siblings, the middle child comes to feel left out and unimportant – two of the most detrimental aspects of health self-esteem.
