Fifteen-year-olds are working on understanding what it means to behave responsibly. They are: 

● working to understand the rules and apply them across various settings. 

● working on their independence. 

● increasingly taking care of their bodies (eating right, getting exercise). 

● caring for their relationships (managing their feelings and impulses, empathizing and working through conflict, being dependable, and keeping promises). 

● managing homework and extracurriculars. 

● contributing to their household (doing chores, cooperating with rules and expectations).
