Question

How can an adolescent acheive a sense of their own identity?

Answer 1

Adolescents achieves their own sense of identity by assessing their strenghths and weaknesses and managing both in their day to day life situations.
Identity will be acquired by their acheivements and efforts,not by the parents and the family support.Identity will be developed by social interaction with others ,usually with peer groups.In a group an adolescents feel free to seek the help and do the best for the need.By doing so they get recognition in the group for their effort and it gives courage to them to get conformation of their role in the group.
By this an adolescent develops the attitude that ,he can meet the expectations of the group by his acheivement.Therefore he gets social identity and creates more interest on proving his ability in the society by planning and acheiving greater things.
Trying for the personal identity based on their philosophy ,values of life helps to develop a guiding behaviour to others too.
