The personal fable is the adolescent's belief that he or she is highly special and unlike anyone else who has ever walked the earth. Colloquially, these individuals are known as "special snowflakes." In other words, the adolescent thinks that since others are so obviously fascinated by him (adolescent egocentrism), he must be a unique individual.
Unfortunately, the belief can have serious consequences.
In particular, the personal fable can cause a tween or teen to believe that nothing bad could possibly happen to someone as exceptional as herself. In other words, since she's so special, she must be invulnerable.
Some research has shown that belief in the personal fable and one's invulnerability is directly connected to common adolescent risk-taking behaviors, such as promiscuous or unprotected sex, use of alcohol or illicit drugs, as well as physically dangerous acts, such as driving without a license or driving recklessly or while intoxicated.
Belief in the personal fable should not be confused with having high self-esteem. Tweens or teens with low self-esteem usually still hold a version of the personal fable.

Answer:
a. did not demand voting rights for women because participants were so divided on the issue
Explanation:
The Seneca Falls Convention was held at Seneca Falls in New York on the 19th and 20th July of 1848. About three hundred women and forty men attended the meeting. They wrote and signed the Declaration of Sentiments, which tried to bring equality in women in the society.
As a result the Declaration of Sentiments was documented which highlighted the injustice shown to the women in the society including women's voting rights, women's property rights, inequality shown in education and employment and many others.
Out of all this inequalities, one of the resolution that was not passed in the Declaration of Sentiments was that of women's suffrage as it was believed by some that the topic is controversial and would affect their social equality in some other arenas.
