Morals develop through life experiences and since the period of adolescence is full of temptations, the moral character of young adolescents is shaped. Teens are introduced to many groups and cultures that may or may not have a positive influence on their lives. Student government and other school-sponsored clubs would instill a moral of generosity, integrity, and benefiting others. Partying would have the opposite effect, ingraining dishonesty, lack of self-control, lack of cooperation and carelessness in the character of adolescents. For example, a young person is introduced to party culture. He ignores the importance of a diploma and instead develops negative aspects of his moral character. In his adult life, he appears to have never transitioned into adolescence. This man's marriage is crumbling as he continues to live a carefree lifestyle. His poor decisions in adolescence determined his moral character for the rest of his life
