During their middle school years, boys will start to interrogate their understanding of self in more complex ways. This time for self-discovery leads to new interests, new ways of interacting, and may create greater self-doubt. Often their concept of self is measured against their understanding of others and how they relate to the world. As they work on identifying themselves within different social situations, they use others around them as benchmarks to understand how effectively they are trying on their new identities.
