And for some it's more difficult than for
others. Some adolescents tend to be more
sensitive to rejection than others. These
teens anxiously anticipate and perceive
rejection. They are more vulnerable to
feelings of rejection and ostracism. For
them, it is more difficult to learn strategies
to cope with painful emotional situations
than it is for the average teen, which puts
them at risk of low self-esteem, relationship
violence and trouble functioning with kids
their age.
These sensitive teens do tend to make
progress developing coping skills as they
move through the teen years and many do
not develop social or emotional problems.
Early positive social experiences or having
different coping skills, such as the ability to
delay gratification or exert self-control, may
account for these differences.
Whether you're parenting an adolescent,
caring for one or simply are an adolescent
it's helpful to better understand what is
happening, emotionally, during this
tumultuous time. The results from this study
suggest that early adolescence is a critical
time in the development of healthy coping
skills and that these skills may be
particularly important for teens sensitive to
rejection.

Explain your answer to others!
Parents and little brothers and sisters don’t
