Teens perform stereotype, gender-specific behaviors in an effort to be attractive to the opposite sex (for example: females wear perfume, males workout to be more muscular). Friends and family influence how teens express their gender – stereotypical behaviors are passed down from each generation. By late adolescence, youths’ gender identity typically becomes more subtle, but without rigidity. At this point youth feel confident and secure enough to enjoy activities that interest them regardless of whether or not these activities are traditionally associated with their gender. Also by late adolescence, youth have usually figured out their own role in society, including their gender role, and they have established a secure and comfortable individual identity that corresponds to their values, beliefs, and interests.II.
