1. INCORRECT- Adolescence is a phase in
everyone's life. Individuals in the age
group of 11-19 are known as adolescents.
Adolescents may have a lot of questions
about changes that they are
experiencing in their bodies and the new
roles and responsibilities that their
environment expects them to fulfil but it
is also an age full of positive and joyful
experiences.
2. INCORRECT Menstruation is a completely
normal phenomenon and signifies that a
girl is becoming a woman and can become
pregnant.
It is contradictory that periods are
considered dirty because having menstrual
periods is a symbolic of a womans ability to
reproduce which is universality respected.
3. INCORRECT Adolescents have their own
experiences and points of view that should be
respected and taken into account. It is
important to trust adolescents and their sense
responsibility.
4. CORRECT
5. INCORRECT Age appropriate information will
lead to fewer fears and confusions in the young
people and build their confidence to respond to
real-life situation in positive and responsible
ways.
6. INCORRECT One of the most striking
characteristics of adolescence is the strong sense
of selfhood. However, this strong sense of self
may not necessarily be in conflict with others.
Adolescents have their own views and feelings
about various issues that may not always be in
agreement with their parents. Parents may find it
difficult to accept these adult-like characteristics
of their children where they ask questions, reasons
and sometimes argue rather than obeying without
asking any questions.
7.CORRECT Physical attraction is a
part of growing up. It is natural and
normal.
8. CORRECT
ADOLESCENCE:
Transition period from childhood to
adulthood.
Extending from puberty to independence

PUBERTY:
The period of sexual maturation
When a person becomes capable of
reproduction.

 Early Adolescence (11-13)
development usually centers around
developing a new self-image due to
their physiological changes.
This stage is characterized by
attempts to become independent and
leave childhood left behind.
Mid-adolescence (14-15),
adolescents strive to loosen their ties
to their parents, and their emotions and
intellectual capacities increase.
The adolescent becomes
adventuresome and experiments with
different ideas.
During this time, the adolescent battles
over her/his own set of values versus
those established by parents and other
adult figures.
Late adolescence ( ages range from 16
onwards), adolescents have a more stable
sense of their identity and place in society .
They should feel psychologically
integrated and should have a fairly
consistent view of outside world.
Should have established a balance
between their aspirations, fantasies and
reality. In order for them to achieve this
balance they should design and desire their
role in society.

 The major task facing adolescents is
to create a stable identity and become
complete and productive adults.
Over time, adolescents develop a sense
of themselves that transcends the many
changes in their experiences and roles.
They find their role in society through
active searching which leads to
discoveries about themselves.
The changes experienced during puberty
bring new awareness of self and others'
reactions to them.
For example, sometimes adults perceive
adolescents to be adults because they
physically appear to be adults. However,
adolescents are not adults. They need room
to explore themselves and their world. Thus,
as adults, we need to be aware of their needs
and provide them with opportunities to grow
into adult roles.
Pagtatamo ng bago at ganap na pakikipag-
ugnayan (more mature relations) sa mga
kasing edad-(Pakikipag- kaibigan)
Adolescents learn through experimentation to
interact with others in more adult ways. Physical
maturity plays an important role in peer relations.
Adolescents who mature at a slower or faster
rate than others will be dropped from one peer
group and generally will enter a peer group of
similar maturity.
For early-maturing girls, entering into a peer
group of similar physical maturity can mean a
greater likelihood of early sexual activity.
Monitoring by parents can be a useful boundary
setting tool because it allows parents to place limits
on the adolescent's outside activities.
Adolescents develop their own definition of what
it means to be male or female. However, most
adolescents conform to the sex roles of our cultural
view of male (assertive & strong) and female
(passive & weak) characteristics. Yet, these roles
have become more relaxed in the last twenty years.
As adults, we need to provide adolescents with
chances to test and develop their masculine and
feminine social roles.
For example, we need to encourage males to express
their feelings and encourage females to assert
themselves more than they have in the past.
The beginning of puberty and the rate of
body changes for adolescents varies
tremendously. How easily adolescents deal
with those changes will partly reflect how
closely their bodies match the well-defined
stereotypes of the "perfect" body for young
women and young men.
Adolescents who do not match the
stereotype may need extra support from
adults to improve their feelings of comfort
and self-worth regarding their physique.
Become Emotionally Independent
from Parents and other adults
Children derive strength from internalizing
their parents' values and attitudes.
Adolescents, however, must redefine their
sources of personal strength and move toward
self-reliance.
This change is smoother if the adolescent
and parents can agree on some level of
independence that increases over time.
For example, parents and adolescents should
set a curfew time. That time should be increased
as the adolescent matures.
Adolescents can think abstractly and
about possible situations. With these
changes in thinking, the adolescent is
able to develop his or her own set of
values and beliefs.
The family is where children define
themselves and their world. Adolescents
define themselves and their world from their
new social roles. Status within the
community, beyond that of family, is an
important achievement for older
adolescents and young adults.
Adolescents and young adults become
members of the larger community through
employment (financial independence) and
emotional independence from parents.

Conclusion

The many developmental tasks facing

adolescents are challenging, but they are not
insurmountable. Adolescents are testing
independence; yet they are not, and do not
want to be, totally independent. Parents
and adults need to provide a supportive
environment for adolescents to search and
explore their identity.
When adolescents make the wrong
decision, they need the support and
guidance of parents and adults to help
them learn from these experiences.
By knowing the developmental tasks of
adolescents, parents and adults can help
turn mistakes made by adolescents into
opportunities that enhance adolescents'
mastery of life skills.
