Mentally, adolescents develop advanced reasoning abilities and become more focused on careers, causes, and justice. Emotionally, they feel more sensitive and awkward, and have difficulty communicating feelings. Socially, adolescents spend more time with friends, embrace peer influences, and interact differently with parents.
