Introduction

Adolescence is a unique time. It's the stage between childhood and adulthood, when many teenagers are trying to figure out who they are and what they're about. It's a time when they feel they should be given more responsibility than kids, but a time they do not yet feel ready for the duties of being an adult. With activities, school, home life and plans for their future, adolescence can be a turbulent but exciting time for teens to learn about themselves.

Discuss in a 3 page APA-style paper:

1. What are the significant relationships in each of the first five stages of a person's life? How do changes in these relationships reflect social and psychological changes in a person's life?

2.  Describe an identity crisis you have struggled with in your own life. As you define your own identity, what are the different roles you must integrate? (Examples: daughter, teammate, worker, student, or boyfriend.) Where do you find inspiration? (Examples: specific role models, events, or beliefs.) Describe pressures that can make it difficult to define your own personality and beliefs.

3. Look closely at Erikson's fourth stage. Do you think he correctly identifies the primary struggle for school-aged children? From your own experience, do you think there might be another way to explain the fundamental changes that occur during this stage of life?
