6.1 A Relationship :

Although adolescents approach to friends for companionship and for guidance in some aspects of behavior (dress, hairstyle, entertainment, etc.). But they do approach their families for affection, identification, values and decision-making.

Adolescents frequently seek the company of other adults, such as teachers, relatives or neighbors, who serve as role model or adviser. Adolescents want more autonomy in dress, outing, selection of friends, or how they spend their free time.

They are not seeking complete independence but rather limited independence with a voice in determining specific rules and limitations concerning to them.

The selection of friends and dress, show their independent identity. They can discuss for hours on various issues.

They feel that friends understand them better and have common concerns. They seek little privacy to create their own world, where parents are not allowed.
