Question

Thirteen-year-old Charles has developed rapidly and is much taller than any of the other boys his age at his school. Charles is more likely to become involved in __________ because his larger size makes it more likely that he will seek out the company of older boys.

Answer 1

Answer:

delinquency and substance abuse

Explanation:

This is seen in adolescents who mature rapidly in puberty as compared to others in same age bracket. He would also be more likely to seek the company of older boys since his peers might appear to be younger than he is and he might not fit in easily
