"Adolescence is a period of storm and stress" why?
Answers
Answer:
Adolescent period is often believed to be a difficult period and very critical stage of transition because of various qualitative shift that they pass through at that moment of life and this conflicts with breaking away from the old self and interest of the childhood memories and all these periods are accompanied by significant changes of various degrees for instance, all the characteristics involved in puberty such as menstrual cycle in girls and hair growth in certain part of the body in boys as well as deepening of the voice.
Adolescents do experience storm and stress, it is most likely to manifest in the following ways
- Conflicts with parents: There is a high chance that adolescent tends to be rebellious due to their search of freedom and authority
- Mood disruptions: adolescents pass through emotional cycle at this stage compared to childhood stage and adulthood.
- Dodgy behaviours: adolescents are usually associated with certain dodgy behaviours such as recklessness, norm breaking and various level of antisocial behaviour.
Apart from the factors mention above earlier, conflicts with parents, mood disruption and behaviour, there are different factors responsible for why adolescent experience various storms and stress during this stage and this is due to the rapid changes and transitions going on in the body and in the environment around them. One factor responsible is the search of autonomy which according to (Erikson 1959) described it as a process of individualisation and (Freud 1958) also analysed it as a developing sense of detachment from parent.
