Negative Coping Mechanisms for Suffering in
Adolescence: A Concept Analysis [ send

primary forms of negative coping behavior. Notes that it is the
responsibility of the health care professional to intervene in aspects of
a patient's behavior which can be detrimental to either health or welfare.

One size fits all? NOT! [ send
me this paper ] (6pp) I thought of her one-size-fits all story when
we were talking about "zero tolerance." If this were not a school paper, I
would just say that it "sucks," and leave it at that, because I think that
the zero tolerance policy is similar to that one size fits all shirt deal.
I can understand that parents have been freaked out by all the violence
stuff that has been on the news and at other schools. It is a scary thing.
I agree with that. I do not think that guns or alcohol belong in school,
but our school handbook says that there will be "zero tolerance" for
"unacceptable behavior; disrespect to staff," or guns. Anybody who needs
to bring a gun to school has zero brain cells - so they should get into
trouble for that Bibliography lists 3 sources.

adolescent's personality development Bibliography lists 11 sources. Filename: PGadopnt.rtf

Piaget and Middle Cildhood. [ send
me this paper ] (5 pp). Jean Piaget wanted to understand how kids
think. His reasoning was that, if he observed children's cognitive skills
development carefully some patterns would develop. Recording and being
aware of those patterns would then help him make some decisions about how
we think and accrue knowledge as adults.This discussion will consider
Piaget's theories of development for middle childhood. And for the sake of
discussion we will define the age of that child between 7 to 11. It should
be noted that humans, particularly children, seldom fit in any given
development category one hundred percent of the time. Bibliography lists 5
