Answer to Question 1

For many adolescents, physical appearance and social acceptance play far more important roles in their self-esteem and overall sense of self than does academic achievement. Furthermore, Laura believes that everyone is watching her most of the time and so will surely notice if she isn't looking her best. Such a belief reflects the imaginary audience that some developmental theorists

Answer to Question 2

Self-regulation is the process of setting goals for oneself and engaging in behaviors and cognitive processes that lead to goal completion. Components possibly related to the strategy's effectiveness include the following:
 Self-monitoring: Nicole is observing and keeping track of her own behavior.
 Goal-setting: Possibly Nicole sets a goal she tries to meet each day (e.g., I'm going to try to get no more than five checkmarks today).
 Self-evaluation: As Nicole monitors her behavior, she may also be judging it

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
