The current case study involves a 19-year-old female from a middle-class family who has started to show aggressive behavior toward her parents who are trying to reprimand her because she often comes home late and fails her classes. She has a twenty-year-older brother and an eight-year-old younger sister who follow their parent’s rule and no known behavioral issues. Her parents are married and work full-time. Even though, they are busy with work, they are fully involved in the children’s success by helping with homework. I will discuss the case mostly in the context of home setting, but I will incorporate some social surroundings as well. However, a parenting action plan will be implemented to address and control this type of behavior. The plan will involve solutions such as participating in community support groups; following a behavioral health plan or therapy through a psychologist and getting involved in special programs (sports or doing community services).
