He has no respect for his parents anymore.
All he wants is to be free. Students insult their teachers. And, on top of this situation,
in the name of liberty and equality,
sex is everywhere.”

▪Shakespeare (A Winter’s Tale) (1600 AD)
“I wish that there were no age between ten and three
and twenty or that youth would simply sleep out the
rest; for there is nothing in between but getting
wenches with child, wronging the ancestry, stealing
and fighting.”

Adolescent Identity
◼ Achieving a sense of identity is the major developmental task of teenagers. Without identities adolescents carry a “How am I doing?” attitude that is always focused on their concern about impressions they are making on others.
◼ Teens identify with people they admire
![Page 33: Understanding TEENS · Teens identify with people they admire. ... LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH AMONG PERSONS AGED 25 YEARS AND OLDER IN THE UNITED STATES, 2016 ... –Most common in institutionalized](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070100/6008bec6e210670b65469bd2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4 Fundamental Views of Self
◼ Subjective self: Adolescents private view of who she sees herself to be
◼ Object self: What others see when they view the adolescent
◼ Social Self: Adolescents perception of herself as she thinks others see her
◼ Ideal Self: Adolescents concept of who she would like to become; her ultimate goal.

Adolescent Development

◼ An overwhelming desire to be accepted, not wanting to feel different, and to be understood
◼ The focus is predominately on short-term, not long-term
◼ Risk taking is a part of it!

Youth - 2020
• Most youth are doing well despite environmental ‘toxicities’.
• Some youth have had limited developmental options and are struggling.
• All young people need a variety of experiences to develop their full potential (think neurobiology)
• Some have integrated poor developmental behaviors into identity and are at risk for significant bio-psychosocial sequelae.
