Adolescents will experiment

  • They will experiment with personalities. Being mean and unfeeling one moment and sweet and caring the next; being “wild” one moment and “good” the next; so forth
  • They will experiment with behaviors. One youth might experiment with smoking and reject it and experiment with alcohol and embrace it.
  • No experiment is necessarily forever unless they become labeled. “Nikki is a slut” is likely to make Nikki who tried something she shouldn't have, feel like that is who she is and she needs to live out that definition from then on. Let them be someone different every time you see them. Reinforce good decisions, view bad decisions as only a one time decision.
