Explain to the adolescent girl how you see her situation from a micro-level analysis (Symbolic Interactionism) to a macro-level analysis (Structuralism/Conflict).

Directions: The job of a social psychologist is to make explicit that which is taken for granted in everyday life. You are now a social psychologist specializing in deviance and criminal behavior and have been called to serve as consultant in the place of deceased advice columnist, Abigail VanBuren (AKA Dear Abby). Below is a letter for which you are to respond. Given the limited information offered in the letter, you are to explain to this adolescent girl how you see her situation from a micro-level analysis (Symbolic Interactionism) to a macro-level analysis (Structuralism/Conflict). Answer her plight by offering insight using salient concepts from a deviance perspective. Provide her with possible solutions using legal (e.g. criminal/administrative law) or social service frameworks (e.g. child protection rules or mental health code) in order to properly affect the situation.
