I would have to say that the roles stress play in the developmental cycle of individuals from their childhood years to their teen years are peers, family, and school. I chose these three because I felt that these are some of the top topics that causes stress during childhood.

I chose peers first because its really hard to find good friends. Especially when there doing things that you should not be doing and you have to make that choice of right and wrong. But you want to empress or you don't them to think you corny. Its just a whole lot of pressure (speaking form experience).

I secondly chose family because they really can stress someone out. You always want to live up to there expectations and sometimes you feel like what you do is never enough. For example lets say that your a boy and your parents want you to a doctor or basket ball player and there just always on your case about it. That also is a lot of pressure. Living up to people expectations is stressing periods.

Further more I chose school because school very, very, stressing. Its kind of hard trying to keep your grades up. Then you think about how the grades you get now are the ones that they look at when you try to get in the high schools or collage that you want to attend, its very hard. Education sometimes determine your future.

In conclusion I think that the roles stress play in the developmental cycle of individuals from their childhood years to their teen years are peers, family, and school.




The article on "talking equality" was about how Ariene Ackerman consistently emphasized on black and Latino , particularly males that are at a disadvantage in achievements gains over the past few years. The article went on to say that Black and Latinos lag 24 points behind Whites. In the paper it stated that 59% of students in emotional support classes are African Americans. The Latino boys were also placed in that rate.

Further more the paper talked about how maybe it would help if the students were ib desegregated schools. Ackerman thought that it would help with a lot of the poverty. She then said that "I can't change those things,so I stoped thinking about desegregation and integration. She then said that it was not about what student sits next to who but if there getting the equal amount of educational opportunities.
