Social and emotional maturity are intertwined. Therefore, as teens' emotional maturity increases, their relationships with their peers change as they become more vulnerable and emotionally intimate with their peers. This increased vulnerability and intimacy requires greater trust among peers. Thus, during the adolescent years, teen peer groups become increasingly important as teens experience more closeness in these friendships and more gratifying relationships with their peers as a result. Teens now turn to one another, instead of their families, as their first line of support during times of worry or upset. This increased reliance on friendships is yet another way that teens demonstrate their growing independence.- "Teens and Peer Relationships,"Angela OswaltAccording to the text, which qualities are characteristics of teenage peer relationships?

Modern teens are learning to do most of their communication while looking at a screen, not another person. Certainly, speaking indirectly creates a barrier to clear communication, but that's not all. Learning how to make friends is a major part of growing up, and friendship requires a certain amount of risk taking. When there are problems that need to be faced, it takes courage to be honest about your feelings and then hear what the other person has to say. But when friendship is conducted online and through texts, kids are doing this in a context stripped of many of the most personal aspects of communication.- "How Using Social Media Affects Teenagers,"Rachel EhmkeAccording to the excerpt, why is online and text communication problematic compared to in-person communication?Online and text communication requires more risk taking.Online and text communication is less personal.In-person communication usually involves less courage.In-person communication is often more indirect.
