AP is an approximately 13-14-year-old boy in 8th grade, who is navigating the pivotal developmental bridge between middle school and secondary transitions. He has short-to-mid-length dirty blond hair. AP looks to be around 5'11" tall and to weigh around 175 lbs. At his age, he is experiencing early-to-mid adolescent testosterone surges impacting emotional reactivity, impulse control, and physical restlessness. Discussions with AP and his teachers indicate he comes from a middle-to-upper-middle-class family, but may have come from a lower-income background in the past. The indicators for this are material abundance and frequent trips to nearby states funded by his stepfather, which track him above baseline economic stability. AP is White, which makes up 11.5% of the school's ethnic makeup and is the 3rd most prominent ethnicity. However, this puts AP’s ethnic group a small percentage above the 4th most prominent group, students with two or more races, at 4.9% and far below the two most prominent, Hispanic/Latino at 35.1%, and Asian or Asian/Pacific Islander at 43.5%. This reflects Manteca’s suburban demographic norms on the side of town that is seeing lots of new development. The Asian population is high due to the large Indian community in this area of Manteca. AP has found a strong bond with all but one Indian boy in his grade. There is one Indian boy that butt heads very often with many students, and AP has taken it upon himself to resent this student more than anyone Mehr sehen
