In this info-graphic I used the characters from the television show One Tree Hill. They all have different identities yet they come together and form a great group of friends. They have the nerd, popular cheerleader, the sensitive guy, dark yet popular girl, the jock, and the goody-two-shoes. As said in the article From Nerds to Normal: The Recovery of Identity among Adolescents from Middle School to High School by David A. Kinney "a supportive adolescent peer group as the primary social arena in which adolescents develop a healthy sense of identity as they experiment various social roles." This group of high school students all have a sense of identity even though they go through struggles. There are always going to be the "popular" kids and the "nerds" in high school and that's what forms social cliques. Students form all different identities and these identities can affect them in many different ways. Even though all of the characters from One Tree Hill have different identities they come together.

I really like the info-graphic! I definitely will consider doing one for next week. I like the idea of different people coming together. I think that one will always benefit from others because we all go different experiences.
ReplyDeleteI like the information in this post. I never considered the value of an individual's identity as an adolescent.
ReplyDeleteI love the info graphic, I never watched One Tree Hill, but I've heard it was a great TV show. One's identity in high school is based on who you hang out with and what you brands wear, or what sport(s) you play.
ReplyDeleteI really like this infographic, I have never seen the show, but through this piece of information I can get a sense of what it is about and how it relates to your topic.
