The notion of a separate adolescent subculture totally isolated from parental influence is not supported by data on educational plans based on triads of adolescents matched with their mother and their best friend in school. We find that concordance on educational goals is higher with mother than with best-school-friend and is not explained by the common social class which adolescents share with parents and friends. While concordance with friend increases with greater intimacy, concordance with mother remains at the same level, irrespective of the adolescent closeness to his parents.
