Explanation:

One group gathered for a short-term project. There were six adults and three young men. The official structure is a leader and eight followers. As the character's episodes develop, it became clear from the group's words and actions that teenagers didn't have to talk much with the group. The sent character allowed teens to talk less. The transmitted role consists of hints or messages, which are used by team members to convey the role a person has. Even in the above scenario, the group's words and actions make it clear that teenagers do not need to speak to the group as adults. Therefore, adolescents were less likely to speak up than adults because of the role that was sent.
