Do your peers' expectations influence your behavior?
Research suggests teens are more likely to behave differently when they are around their peers. Most people already know that they behave differently depending on the situation. People know that there is a "time and place" for certain behaviors. People often behave differently when alone, with family and with friends.
In Assignment 5, you wrote about
Your expectations for yourself
Your family's expectations for you
Your friends' expectations for you
Some of you provided detailed answers. For some of you, completing an assignment to the best of your ability is probably one of your expectations. You almost can't help it. You must do the assignment. You expect that you will do it. Your family expects it. Your friends expect it.
For other students, the expectation was different.
In assignment 6, write a detailed blog post that answers these three questions.
1. For you to go against your expectations, what would you do?
2. What would it take to go against your family's expectations? How would they treat you? Better or worse?
3. What must you do to go against your friends' expectations? Would you become a better student? Would you become a worse student? How would your friends treat you? Would you lose your friends?
