Teenagers in middle adolescence are making big progress both physically and mentally. Most of them start to concern about their body size, shape, and weight. Especially some girls are on strictly diet in order to be slim, which lead to eating disorder. During this phase of development, each teenager is developing his or her unique personality and opinion, although peer relationship still does matter for him or her. Middle adolescence is also an important time for the teenagers to prepare for independence and responsibility. Many teenagers start working part time, and are going to leave home soon after high school.
