Summary
Teenagers’ ability to understand other people began to develop. It allows them to be able to decide how to establish relationships with others. In adolescence there is a change in social development, in which adolescents are more likely to spend time together with the external environment such as peers than their family. Adolescents should have a good self confidence, in order to be able to adapt to the social environment. It allows a person to be able to decide how to build relationships with others (Kathryn Geldard and David Geldard, 2011). Muhammad Al-Mighwar (2006) says that the more involved a wide range of social activities, the confidence of adolescents have increased. General self-confidence is developed during the age of childhood and emerges from the accumulation of inter and intrapersonal experiences (Kaur, 2009; Brown, 2000)
