1. How would you test adolescents’ level of moral development?
Adolescents can be tested on their moral development by doing observation and developmental skills which will show how much the adolescent matches their behavior with their morals and values. If an adolescent can apply these to their daily life and manage to be social and independent living and working by their own choices and stead of being pressured to do what their family or friends want them to do or model negatively.
2. What social factors do you see contributing to the development of eating disorders? Are their emotional factors that also can contribute?
Most of societies adolescence live their life base off the lives of social media or what the people of the society will say, and this can be a lot of pressure for some because they want to have a perfect body looking like what they see on the internet or being thin. Female in this generation will do anything to get the body they dream of and if eating less or finding way to get rid of the food from their body and even doing surgeries. This can contribute to emotional factors when they are body slammed by friends or other people whether on the internet or in person at school, on the road, at work etc. they feel obligated to take the pressure and change who they are so they can fit in and look like

1. Are adolescents ready for sexual activity, given their level of cognitive and social maturity? What would you say to a young person who does not want to become sexually active but is being pressured by peers? How would you help a young person who has become sexually active and is now suffering guilt and regret?
I would say that adolescents are not ready for sexual intercourse. Yes, they will have urge and the body may have been showing signs that they are ready. But the circumstances that comes with choosing to have sex is more than they can manage. I would say to a young person, that sex is a choice and with that choice comes consequences whether good or bad, at this age it is a bad choice because of the things a person will face that may is more for an adult who is responsible and by law legal to be making these choices. It is not easy for you to help someone to get rid of these feeling only if the person is willing that it already happen there is no going back but they can forget about the situation and understand that as they get older it will be much better and romantic with the right person. Also, the situation could be a lot of worst by dealing with some of the consequences that comes with being intimate. Which are getting pregnant, catching a STD, or other problems the body may go through at having sex at a young age.
2. How are poverty, family processes, cognitive processes, and biology related to the development of problems in adolescents, such as depression, drug use, and juvenile delinquency.
Some adolescence faces problems with drugs depression and juvenile delinquency because of the influence their environment has on them and they are pressured or influenced by friends or other family member that they look up to. Some youths that are not trained by parent to do what is right or the family did not find the tie to talk to the child about certain issues then they will try other way in their opinion how to learn about it or feel neglected and worsen their behavior. Children live what they learn so if something is taught to them on a daily basis, they will believe that is it right. Some youths also have an addiction because the parent may having been going through the same situation at birth and the child is dealing with these issues because they have it hereditarily.

1. How would you test adolescents’ level of moral development?
Kohlberg’s Theory can be used to cover things like the interpersonal norm, social system morality, and social contract. As each person is different, some time should be spent with the teen to get to know them.
2. What social factors do you see contributing to the development of eating disorders? Are there emotional factors that also can contribute?
Media is involved more in our everyday lives. We post the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and our random thoughts. What others think of you has gained more value. Children are depressed because they did not get enough “likes.” It is socially acceptable for your pets and small children to have social media accounts. The images of thin and young are beautiful are being presented twenty-four hours a day and have helped contribute to eating disorders.
Emotional factors have contributed, especially now with the separation that COVID-19 has created. It seems that more people need mental health care. People are left struggling to deal with trauma by themselves. Food is being used to cope with overeating or uneating alike.

What would you say to a young person who does not want to become sexually active but is being pressured by peers? How would you help a young person who has become sexually active and is now suffering guilt and regret?
Adolescents are not ready for sexual activity due to their level of cognitive and social maturity. I have seen adolescents engaging in casual sexual activity and the devastation that it leaves behind. I would tell the young person that the decision is up to them. Also, I would warn of possible dangers, emotional and physical. A young person may feel remorseful after being sexually active. The important thing is to give yourself a break; we all make mistakes. A lesson should be learned if they do not want to do it again, then purpose not to do so.
I waited to have sex until I was almost twenty and avoided a lot of headaches. Many of my friends and family members were trying to deal with situations I did not want to experience.
2. How are poverty, family processes, cognitive processes, and biology-related to the development of problems in adolescents, such as depression, drug use, and juvenile delinquency.
People in poverty are not so different than others, yet they lack financial stability. They are self-medicating for a variety of reasons. I think some mental health issues may also play a part. When you grow up in that environment, your worldview may be limited, and all you know is where you live. This can lead to depression, drug use, and juvenile delinquency. You are in survival mode and doing what you know to care for yourself and your family.
