Answer to Question 1

B
Self-esteem is most threatened during adolescence, when concepts of self are being modified and new self-decisions are being made.

Answer to Question 2

C
The initial step is to determine what the adolescent says about the schoolbook defacement and then respond from there. The behavior may be a cry for help, but the teacher needs to view it correctly and not jump to premature conclusions.
