My Notes
- kids choose friends based off being around them, their parents, same classes
- adolescents and later ages pick friends based off more than just those factors,
adding things like similar interests or values
- people under the influence of drugs will say and do things they wouldn't normally do
- perfectionist parents become authoritative. they are inflexible with changes and put
strain on their kids to meet their hard expectations
- closed communication breaks families because they do not know what is happening
in each others life and leads to dysfunction
- bullying is when one person has more power and is abusing it many times over
- bullies often have low self-esteem
