Why do most individuals listen to the advice given by their friends and peers but do not listen to the words of knowledge expressed by their parents? Do the words that come out of a guardian or parent's mouth really leak into one ear and continually flow into the other? The average teenager listens to the advice given to them by their parents but due to the lack of development of their prefrontal cortex, they are unable to hold this knowledge without it being replaced by a text or a call. How is a parent's advice very different from the advice we receive from colleagues with whom people go to school or spend time? How teens communicate with each other makes the difference between accepting their opinions and refusing advice. The intentional relationship of not having to accept the individual's feedback but having a choice also makes a huge difference in unintentional reception from a parent and intentional acceptance from a friend. Confusion between identity and role, one of Erikson's stages of psychological development, indicates that through the ages of 12 to 18, a child struggles to feel better. Thanks to his success, the child is able to differentiate between what he really wants to do without falling under peer pressure. But, failing to discover his own identity, the child becomes a victim of his friends' opinions. This stage is one of the reasons why a child is unable to listen to his parents' opinion over his friend's inviting suggestion. The adolescent is torn between whether their colleague understands the situation due to age similarities and whether the parent understands clearly enough to give them advice. The child, at this age, also sees the parent as a rival or enemy, seeing in the middle of paper the parent's opinion against the friend's persuasion comes with social cognition, the sense of self. and also how the person perceives the person giving the advice. If the person views the parent as a nuisance or thinks the parent cannot understand the problem they are facing, the adolescent is more likely to isolate themselves from the caregiver. If the child views the parent as a comfortable companion and not just a caregiver, the child is able to express the problems present in the minor's life without feeling judged or misunderstood. In conclusion of my essay, I state that the child's creating a better bond with children of the same age group can lead to emotional and educational success in life, but neglecting the opinion or words of knowledge given by the parent, this can lead to parental neglect and lack of wisdom and understanding of the world earlier in life.
