ADOLESCENCE
• Adolescence is the transitional
stage from childhood to
adulthood.
• Adolescence can be a time of
both disorientation and discovery.
The transitional period can raise
questions of independence and
identity; as adolescents cultivate
their sense of self, they may face
difficult choices about academics,
friendship, sexuality, gender
identity, drugs, and alcohol.
