It has long been a common observation that groups of teenagers are more likely to stir up trouble than young people on his/her own. Scholars have different hypotheses about why this is, including the socialization hypothesis on delinquency and the opportunity hypothesis of delinquency. The more unstructured free time young people have, the more likely they will pursue opportunities to misbehave.
Mentoring can help youth through challenging life transitions, including dealing with stressful changes at home or transitioning to adulthood. Close, healthy, supportive relationships between mentors and mentees that last for a significant portion of time (i.e., more than one year) are central to success. With this, mentoring programs can avoid harming young people paired with mentors ill-equipped to meet the mentees’ needs. Specifically, relationships with mentors that last less than three months; where there is irregular and inconsistent contact; where there is a disconnect between the personalities, interests, and expectations of the mentors and mentees; where mentors are unprepared and lack skills to relate to youth; and where there is no emotional bond between the mentor and mentee are harmful to youth (Jekielek et al., 2002; Rhodes & DuBois, 2006).
For this week’s discussion, I would like you to discuss who was or may be currently a mentor. Feel free to discuss what it was or is about them you find a certain amount of respect for. If you don’t have a mentor to discuss, then either discuss your position as a mentor to someone or your desire to become a mentor.
Please make sure you paper is only 1 to 2 pages in length (minimum of 750 word).
