All About

Adolescence
Presented by: Group 2
Objectives
To explore the challenges
of middle and late
adolescence as well as the
reality of its growth spurts.
#LETSGO!
Introduction
Teens go through difficult but necessary
time in their development known as
adolescence, which lasts from 15 to 17
years. It marks the shift from childhood
to young adulthood.
Challenges of
Middle and Late
Adolescence
Many young people will reach their full
adult height by the end of puberty.
Beyond the growth spurts, other
physical changes that happen in both
males and females include
body odor
acne ; and
more body hair

PHYSICAL CHANGES
Females will see changes in where fat
appears on their body. Most males will
have started their growth spurt, and
puberty-related changes continue. They
may have some voice cracking, for
example, as their voices lower. Physical
changes may be nearly complete for
females, and most girls now have regular
periods.

Career Choice
Adolescence feel an urgent
need to determine what course
to take in college and establish
a career in the future.
Material Poverty
Most of them stop attending school and
start working at such a young age
because they can no longer afford the
expenses and other school fees due to
financial problems. On the other hand,
some adolescents are materialistic.
Role Confusion
Erikson's theory of role confusion
refers to the stage of development
where an adolescent struggles with a
unified self-picture, influenced by
their parents, teachers, and peers.
This confusion can lead to
adolescents trying out various social
roles until they realize their personal
identity. Some adolescents achieve
their goals, while others don't.
Cognitive Development
15 to 17 year olds develop more
logical operations. This means they
are developing to a more mature
level of functioning. However, the
challenge with this change in
cognition is that they become more
stubborn and argumentative as they
begin to apply logical thinking to
situations which often leads to
fights.

Values and beliefs
Adolescents possess diverse
values and ideas, often
struggling to articulate their
views due to their ongoing
evolution and unawareness
of their acquiring beliefs.
GROUP BELONGINGNESS
Adolescents seek self-sufficiency
from parents and seek social
support from friends and school
and community groups. They
should choose groups that
support positive behavior and
alert them to undesirable actions
to avoid undesirable behaviors.
Late adolescence is
characterized by increased self-
esteem, moral reasoning, identity
formation, emotional stability,
concern for others, and the
EMOTIONAL development of serious
relationships. Social and cultural
traditions also become important.
However, those unsuccessful
may feel isolated and distance
themselves from others.
RELATIONSHIPS
Adolescents form
relationships with friends and
opposite sex, but maintain
healthy connections.
Misinformation and
uncertainty about identity can
destroy bonds, while unsure
peers may have negative
influences.
ACADEMIC CONCERNS
Adolescents face academic
challenges, including difficulties
with study habits and attitudes.
To overcome these obstacles,
responsibility and adaptability
are crucial. Academic success
relies on attitudes, behaviors,
and interactions, and striving for
academic greatness requires
hard work and a focus on grades.
SEXUAL DESIRES
Adolescents should understand
sexual boundaries and be
responsible for their actions, such
as watching pornography. They
should view sexual relationships as
loving, not solely for pleasure. "Sex
before marriage" suggests
prioritizing marriage over sexuality,
emphasizing the importance of
supporting each other.
