Theories of Adolescence

Between the two theories of adolescence I would agree more with Margaret Mead rather than Stanley Hall.   She believed that adolescence was a continuum of childhood and a precursor to adulthood.  She didn't believe it was a second stage like Stanley Hall.  She even said adolescence is highly enjoyable in countries that are well developed.  For these reasons I agree more with her theory than Stanley Hall.
