Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. One of the prevailing experiences of the adolescent period is becoming associated with a peer group. The 13-year-old does not want to appear different from all of his peers. This can lead to depression. Focusing on what he can still do (physical activity, groups, hobbies) even though he has a new diagnosis will give him a sense of control and normalcy with his life.
