Coleman's focal theory states that most adolescents can cope with changes or difficulties that may occur in their lives, as they have the ability to focus on each new problem as it arises. I'm assuming Coleman's theory also considers the fact that as these issues happen relatively at the same time, adolescents  have peers to relate to, what happens for those who are late bloomers who also have to deal these new issues considered to be self-image, sexual and peer relationships as well as more serious issues in their lives such as career choices, who are now behind and may not be able to find many people who are willing to re-relate to these issues? Or how about those who experience them early and have to work to support family due to a parental death in addition to hitting puberty earlier than their peers, so peers won't even really know how to relate to the adolescent? How does Coleman's theory support these individuals who have to go through everything all at once without peer support?
