Acceptance by peers and the group identification is strong social need in adolescence namely the need for affiliation. For adolescents need acceptance from peers significantly more than the need for self-esteem. Surprised by the fact that parents and teachers ask questions like "Why did not realize that they take advantage of you?" Or "How can you allow to treat you so?". But adults have forgotten just how important the adolescent need for acceptance. In this context, the main task for teens is finding or forming a reference group which meets the needs. All other tasks are age-related or stem from this need.
Development of self-determination: self-determination of youth is very similar to measuring the clothes. Unfortunately, some of these costumes created unpopular, even dangerous "silhouettes" of behavior and expression. Here authoritarian intervention is unthinkable, but it is necessary to help the young man in his orientation and adaptation to existing conditions.
