How many syllables is in the word adolescence?

Do you believe that during adolescence peer influence is greater than family when it comes to basic values?
For some values, yes. For some values, no. For some people, yes. For some people, no. Every person, family and situation is different.
Why are the starting and end points of some lifespan stages difficult to classify?
Different people mature at different rates, and some of the transitions from one stage to the next are far more subtle than others, like adolescence to adulthood for example.
Why is it often difficult to divide the adult years into discrete periods?
According to Laura E. Berk, a professor of Psychology at Illinois State University, "the adult years are difficult to divide into discrete periods because the timing of important milestones varies greatly among individuals- more so than in childhood and adolescence." (pg. 431)
