Scope: For girls, adolescence
is a developmental stage that accompanies many social
and psychological changes. Peer pressure and peer
acceptance and the importance of friendships become
essential factors in the world of the teenage girl.
Along with this need for acceptance, comes some of the
results of rejection from the popular circles and
cliques, such as poor body image, self image,
depression, and eating disorders. These factors will be
included in the topics of this pathfinder. The purpose
of this pathfinder is to serve as a guideline for
student research. It is not intended as a comprehensive
listing of all the materials available in the library on
this topic, but as a selective sampling of the many
types of resources available.
