Common Causes Contributing to Unhealthy Teen Identity Development

The importance of identity development for teens is huge. When a teen is developing their identity they are learning what makes them unique while also feeling the need to fit in. For teens who feel excluded from others due to their cultural, ethnic, gender, or sexual identity, this process can lead teens to begin participating in harmful behavior.

Other factors that prevent the formation of a secure and positive self-identity include:

Lack of attachment to parents

Low self-esteem

Absence or negative influence of adults

Lack of acceptance in a positive peer group

Common Problems and Behaviors Surrounding Unhealthy Teenage Identity Issues

The causes above make a teen more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as drugs, substance addiction, and promiscuity. These teens are also more likely to perform poorly in school, have low self-esteem, and to act compulsively. This is due to the fact that during this time teens are still developing cognitively which makes their thinking process more impulsive than adults. Therefore, the simple encouragement from peers can be enough to persuade a teen to engage in risky behavior without much thought. The result of a teen’s participation in rebellious or promiscuous behavior can result in the teen feeling even worse about themselves and can create a downward spiral of unhealthy patterns and behavior.

15 Warning Signs of Teenage Identity Issues:

A distorted or unrealistic perception of oneself

Lack of congruent behaviors and values in different settings

Self-worth relies on the opinions of others

Poor academic performance or failure.

Promiscuous behavior

Low self-esteem

Putting down others (i.e., teasing, name-calling, or gossiping)

Dramatic or out of context behaviors

Glances around to monitor others

Putting self down

Keeps his or her own views or opinions to self

Intense emotions of anger or sadness

Change in peers and/or avoids positive friendships

Disregarding rules and limits

Use of illegal substances

If your teen displays several of the above behaviors, they are likely struggling to form their identity. The next step parents can take to encourage healthier patterns is to ensure their teen is getting the support he or she needs at home.
