  20. So What? From this, we learn all about how adolescents function inside Ashe County Middle School. We can pull things such as what they do to fit in, their home life situation, how healthy they are, and other social aspects of their lives from this research and we can apply it to things that we teach, how we relate to them, and how we can advocate from them the best. Because the adolescent time is one of the most significant developmental parts of their lives, we need to get to know these kids so that we can support them in everything that is going on.
