Question

why can high schoolers be \selfish\ with their goals? they do not have anyone depending on them. they have no goals to achieve. they need to prioritize others goals.

Explanation:

High - schoolers generally do not have dependents relying on them for support. So they can focus more on their own goals without having to prioritize others' needs due to dependents. The other options are incorrect as high - schoolers have goals (like getting good grades, going to college etc.), and they don't need to prioritize others' goals in the context of being "selfish" with their own goals.

Answer:

They do not have anyone depending on them.
