The successful social development of adolescent girls is dependent on the
acquisition of the skills required to face the challenges of adult life. Young
girls are faced with the problem of a growing aggressive behaviour displayed
by the girls who are supposedly their friends. This aggressive behaviour may
negatively affect social, psychological or emotional development, possibly
resulting in long term social adjustment problems.
This investigation identifies the types and causes of aggressive behaviour
displayed by adolescent girls, with the intention of ultimately identifying
strategies to address aggressive behaviour. The implementation of a schoolbased
approach, including all sectors involved in the education of the child in
a whole-school programme to address aggressive behaviour, is recommended.
Including all parties, firmly committed to addressing aggressive behaviour
from a preventative perspective, may result in reducing aggressive behaviour
and possibly provide adolescent girls with the coping skills required for
successful social development. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Socio-Education)
