Please answer the set of questions and then respond to a classmate's post. Jordan is a 16-year-old Black American female who resides in the inner-city with her mother and younger brother. Her mother
submitted a referral to you, her new mentor (serving as a therapist, advocate, coach, etc.), as Jordan reported feeling
overwhelmed. She is having a great deal of issues adjusting to what she calls, "the demands of adolescent life". Jordan stated
that, although her school relationships are intact, she is starting to see a steady decline in her academics. According to her, last
year in the ninth grade, she was getting all As and Bs, but now her grades are mostly Cs. She is very concerned about her
physics class because she is barely passing. She reported that this was very stressful because she wanted to major in biology
in college so she needs her science grades to be "perfect". Jordan also informed you that she has a boyfriend in the 11th
grade, but she thinks that she might be attracted to her best friend Jasmine (a girl) also. She informed you that she had never
considered dating girls before. Jordan also told you that she and her boyfriend have been together for eight months and she is
considering having sex for the first time soon. She also mentioned that although her father lives out of the house, he lives close
by and she spends a breat deal of time with him because her house makes her feel stressed. She said that her mother is
always asking her to complete chores and watch her younger brother. She also mentioned that her mother gives her an early
curfew, whereas her father allows her to stay out until 8:00pm on school nights According to Jordan, when she stays out, she
usually goes to her best friend's house with her close-knit group of friends from the neighborhood, called the G-Girls. While
they're there, they usually dance, smoke marijuana, do make-up, and play video games.
Use what you have learned about adolescence to answer the following questions. What stands out about Jordan's scenario to
you? Are there any aspects of this situation that seem typical? As her new mentor, what kind of advice will you give Jordan?
What issues needs to be addressed? How will you coordinate with her school to better meet her needs? How will you support
her familial relationships?
