HENCE, IN AMERICA, A CHILD IS USUALLY "OUT OF THE HOUSE" AT THE AGE OF 18 BECAUSE THIS IS THE AGE ON HOW THEY DEFINE YOUNG ADULTHOOD. THIS AGE DEFINITION OF ADOLESCENCE IS NOT A "CUT – AND – DRIED RULE" AS SOME PERSONS MATURE ALREADY OF OTHERS, OR SOME EXPERIENCE DELAYED MATURITY DUE TO MANY FACTORS LIKE GENETICS, ENVIRONMENT, OR EVEN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
There is a interesting social phenomenon that has taken over the world today and it is called the "selfie" phenomenon.
The social lives of the millennials are driven by technology and their social interactions are dictated by their use of social networks, mobile phones, and other gadgets.
Towards the new millennium, the new adolescents who were born from the 1980's to about the early 2000's became known as "millennials." This generation was born in the midst of a great technology boom; hence, they were also referred to as "digital natives" versus the previous generation who were referred to as "digital immigrants," having migrated from non – digital to digital technology
While there were activist students marching across around the streets of manila, other young Filipinos went up to the hills of Antipolo, Rizal to hold their own version of Woodstock, dubbed as the Antipolo rock festival held in 1970.
On the local scene, social and political activists. Mostly high school and college students, were in the midst of the political turmoil that dominated the Philippines before and during martial law
Social issues also became the popular themes of this era, with the anti – war movement against the war in Vietnam
The gathering at Woodstock in upstate New York where hippies got together for three days amidst music, drugs, and sex, also became one of the enduring symbols that immortalized this generation
In the 1960's and 1970's, it was the hippie movement and flower power that became the trademark of the generation of adolescents and young adults. The use of psychedelic drugs and other hypnotic substance were popular; thus, supporting the theories about adolescence and the experimentation that they were going through.
Local teenagers copied their American counterparts. It was the era of the "lo – waist gang", where actors wore tight fitting jeans and pompadour hairstyles slopped with pomade
For example, in the USA, the term "teenage rebellion" was popularized in the 1950's with the beatnik movement at it's forefront. Popular rebel teen star such as James dean and writer Jack Kerouac became the icons of that era.
People penchant to take their solo pictures or in a setting with interesting backgrounds, and uploading these to their social networking sites is definitely creating an impact on the way young people see themselves. The development of the adolescent's identity today is being influenced and molded by technology.
Skills and tasks appropriate for middle and late adolescence
According to a study conducted by the work – life center at the Massachusetts institute of technology, titled "raising teens project", the study enumerated ten desirable developmental tasks every adolescent in America should develop.
Establish Key Aspects Of Identity
Be encouraged to develop their own healthy self – concepts that reflect their uniqueness in relation to themselves, their families and friends, and with the bigger community.
Form Friendships That Are Mutually Close And Supportive
Peer influence is very strong among adolescents and this should be able to steer an adolescent toward productive and positive relationships, behavior, and thinking. Learning how to trust others is an important task for an adolescent to develop.
Understand And Express More Complex Emotional Experiences
Becoming more in touch with their emotions and see the complex variance among strong emotions and feelings, understanding the emotions and feelings of other persons, and learning how to detach themselves from emotional situations whenever the need arises
Identify Meaningful Moral Standards, Values, And Belief System
Because of their idealism, adolescents develop more complex understanding of morality, justice, and compassion that leads to the formation of their own belief system that will guide their decision and behaviors.
Develop And Apply New Coping Skills In Areas Such As Decision – Making, Problem Solving, And Conflict Resolution
Adolescents acquire new thinking capabilities that will help them engage in more creative strategies from problem solving, decision – making, and resolving conflict. They should be able to project toward the future and see the consequences of their actions
Develop And Apply A New Perspective On Human Relationship
Developing the capacity for compassion by learning how to put themselves in "somebody else's shoes" in order to understand other people's feelings and perspectives. Looking at relationships in different perspectives can develop in learning how to resolve conflicts in relationships.
Develop And Apply Abstract Thinking Skills
Effectively understand and coordinate abstract ideas, thinking out possibilities, trying out theories, planning ahead, reflecting on how and what they are thinking, and coming out with their own personal philosophies.
Adjust To Sexually Maturing Bodies And Feelings
Being aware of the bodily changes happening, managing sexual feelings, and engaging in healthy sexual behaviors. Establishing sexual identity and developing skills for romantic and meaningful relationships are the healthy results when adolescents learn to adjust to their own development.
Every culture has a representation of how their adolescent population behaved over the decades.
Adolescence and social behavior
SEXUAL EXPERIMENTATION
SEXUAL EXPERIMENTATION ALSO HAPPENS IN THIS STAGE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THEIR UNDERDEVELOPED COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE CAPABILITIES AND EDUCATION OF THE MATTER, THIS EXPERIMENTATION SOMETIMES END UP IN A DISASTER, SUCH AS TENN PREGNANCIES AND SEXUAL DISEASES.
GENERATIVITY VS. STAGNATION
THIS STAGE TAKES PLACE DURING MIDDLE ADULTHOOD BETWEEN THE AGES OF APPROXIMATELY 40 AND 65.
PEOPLE EXPERIENCE A NEED TO CREATE OR NURTURE THINGS THAT WILL OUTLAST THEM, OFTEN HAVING MENTEES OR CREATING POSITIVE CHANGES THAT WILL BENEFIT OTHER PEOPLE.
SUCCESS LEADS TO FEELING OF USEFULNESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENT, WHILE FAILURE RESULTS IN SHALLOW INVOLVEMENT IN THE WORLD
INTIMACY VS. ISOLATION
THIS STAGE TAKES PLACE DURING YOUNG ADULTHOOD BETWEEN THE AGES OF APPROXIMATELY 19 AND 40.

SUCCESS LEADS TO STRONG RELATIONSHIP, WHILE FAILURE RESULTS IN LONELINESS AND ISOLATION
Identity vs. Role confusion
THIS STAGE OCCURS DURING ADOLESCENCE, FROM ABOUT 12 – 18 YEARS.
TEENAGERS EXPLORE WHO THEY ARE AS INDIVIDUALS, AND SEEK TO ESTABLISH A SENSE OF SELF, AND MAY EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT ROLES, ACTIVITIES, AND BEHAVIORS.
ACCORDING TO ERICKSON, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THE PROCESS OF FORMING A STRONG IDENTITY AND DEVELOPING A SENSE OF DIRECTION IN LIFE.
INDUSTRY VS. INFERIORITY
THIS STAGE OCCURS DURING CHILDHOOD BETWEEN THE AGES OF FIVE AND TWELVE.
IT IS AT THIS STAGE THAT THE CHILD'S PEER GROUP WILL GAIN SIGNIFICANCE AND BECOME A MAJOR SOURCE OF THE CHILD'S SELF – ESTEEM. THE CHILD IS COPING WITH NEW LEARNING AND SOCIAL DEMANDS.

INITIATIVE VS. GUILT
THIS STAGE OCCURS DURING THE PRESCHOOL YEARS, BETWEEN THE AGES OF THREE AND FIVE.
THE CHILD BEGINS TO ASSERT CONTROL AND POWER OVER THEIR ENVIRONMENT BY PLANNING ACTIVITIES, ACCOMPLISHING TASKS AND FACING CHALLENGES. SUCCESS AT THIS STAGE LEADS TO A SENSE OF PURPOSE.
IF INITIATIVE IS DISMISSED OR DISCOURAGES, EITHER THROUGH CRITICISM OR CONTROL, A CHILD DEVELOPS A SENSE OF GUILT.
AUTONOMY vs. SHAME AND DOUBT
THIS STAGE OCCURS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 MONTHS TO APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE YEARS.
THE INFANT DEVELOPS A SENSE OF PERSONAL CONTROL OVER PHYSICAL SKILLS AND A SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE.
ERICKSON STATES IT IS CRITICAL THAT PARENTS ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO EXPLORE THE LIMITS OF THEIR ABILITIES WITHIN AN ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS TOLERANT OF FAILURE.
SUCCESS LEADS TO FEELINGS OF AUTONOMY, FAILURE RESULTS IN SHAME AND DOUBT.
TRUST VS. MISTRUST
THIS STAGE BEGINS AT BIRTH AND LAST THROUGH ONE YEAR OF AGE.

Erickson's Eight Stages of Personality Development
ERICK ERICKSON'S EIGHT STAGES OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT DEFINE EACH STAGE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT WITH A CRISIS OR A CONFLICT. EACH CRISIS OR CONFLICT EITHER GETS RESOLVED OR MAY BE LEFT UNRESOLVED; RESULTING IN FAVORABLE OR UNFAVORABLE OUTCOMES
Erickson's eight stages of personality development
EGO INTEGRITY VS. DESPAIR

SUCCESS AT THIS STAGE LEADS TO FEELING OF WISDOM, WHILE FAILURE RESULTS IN REGRET, BITTERNESS, AND DESPAIR.
ADOLESCENCE: IDENTITY VS. ROLE CONFUSION
IDENTITY
IDENTITY IS THE CONCEPT OF AN INDIVIDUAL ABOUT HIMSELF AND IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "SELF – IDENTITY", MOLDED THROUGH VARIOUS INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES AROUND HIMSELF, SUCH AS THEIR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY, AND HIS RESPONSES IN TERMS OF THINKING, ATTITUDE, AND BEHAVIOR TO EXTERNAL STIMULI.
SOCIAL MEDIA
IN THIS DIGITAL ERA, ONLINE FRIENDSHIP ABOUND, THANKS TO SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES SUCH AS FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, AND TWITTER. ONLINE GAMES ARE ALSO POPULAR AMONG ADOLESCENTS, PARTLY DUE TO THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME AND THE NEED TO DEVELOP ABSTRACT REASONING THAT IS BUILT IN THE GAME.
FASHION
DIFFERENT CLOTHING AND FASHION STYLE ARE OFTEN THE MOST OBVIOUS WAYS USED BY ADOLESCENTS IN EXPRESSING THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND IN ASSERTING THEIR UNIQUE SELVES. THEY ALSO SEARCH FOR SOCIAL GROUPS WITH WHOM THEY FIND COMMON INTERESTS TO FURTHER VALIDATE THEIR CHOSEN IDENTITY
EXPERIMENTATION
EXPERIMENTATION IS A COMMON ACTIVITY AMONG ADOLESCENTS AS THEY SEARCH FOR THEIR IDENTITY. THEY WANT TO BE TREATED AS ADULTS, AND THEY SEE ADULTS BEHAVIOR AS SOMETHING TO EMULATE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ALSO MIMIC NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS LIKE SMOKING AND DRINKING, WHICH ARE PERCEIVED AS MARKS OF MANHOOD IN SOME CULTURES LIKE OURS.
IDEALISM
IDEALISM IS VERY PROMINENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS, AND SO IS THEIR INCLINATION TOWARD BECOMING VERY SELF – CONSCIOUS AND EGOCENTRIC. RECKLESS BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS ARE SOMETIMES ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR BRAINS SINCE THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE PLANS AND SEE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS ARE NOT YET FULLY DEVELOPED UNLIKE IN ADULTS.
THEIR BELIEFS ABOUT MORALITY, RELIGION, AND POLITICS ARE ALSO STARTING TO EVOLVE. THIS IS THE STAGE WHEN YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN BEGIN TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATUS QUO, ABOUT THE WAY THINGS HAPPEN, AND USUALLY COUNTER QUESTIONS OR SITUATIONS WITH A CHALLENGING QUESTION OF "WHY NOT?"
THE ADOLESCENT'S PHYSIOLOGICAL TRANSITIONING IS VERY PRONOUNCED AT THIS STAGE. PUBERTY KICKS IN AND IS FUELED BY THE HORMONAL CHANGES THAT ARE OCCURRING AND PUSHING THE ADOLESCENT TOWARD SEXUAL MATURATION
AT THIS STAGE, THE BRAIN ALSO CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. COGNITIVE GROWTH AMONG ADOLESCENTS IS USUALLY MARKED BY THE WAY THEY ARE ABLE TO COMPREHEND ABSTRACT CONCEPTS SUCH AS FREEDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS
CHANGES DURING ADOLESCENCE
Role Confusion
ROLE CONFUSION IS THE NEGATION OF SELF IDENTITY, IN A SENSE THAT THERE IS A CONFUSION OVER ONE'S SELF – CONCEPT OR THE ABSENCE OR LACK OF SUCH A CONCEPT. ROLE CONFUSION AFFECTS THE INDIVIDUAL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS; BECAUSE THERE IS NO CLEAR DEFINITION OF WHAT HE IS AND HOW HE RELATES TO OTHERS.
Meet The Demands Of Increasingly Mature Roles And Responsibilities
It is important for the emerging adult to acquire skills and knowledge that will provide him with meaningful careers and jobs and to live up to the expectations regarding commitment to family, community, and nation – building.
Renegotiate relationships with adults in parenting roles
The adolescent stage sees the movement toward independence and autonomy
According to a book named "child and adolescent development", it identified similar developmental tasks a Filipino adolescent needs to learn. These are:
ADOLESCENCE – BETWEEN CHILDHOOD AND ADULTHOOD
ADOLESCENTS SUCH AS US EXPERIENCE A CHANGE IN OUR PHYSICAL BODY OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS. THESE CHANGES INCLUDES THE GROWTH OF HAIR IN THE ARMPIT AND THE PUBLIC AREAS, THE INCREASE IN HEIGHT, FOR THE MALES, THE DEEPENING OF THE VOICE. FOR THE GIRLS, THE START OF THEIR MENSTRUATION PERIOD AND DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR BREASTS.
ASIDE FROM THE PHYSICAL CHANGES, WE, AS ADOLESCENTS, HAVE DEVELOP FEELINGS AND DESIRES TOO.
FOR INSTANCE, THE FEELING OF SADNESS BECAUSE YOU REALIZED THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER A CHILD, THE FEELING OF EXCITEMENT BECAUSE SUDDENLY, YOU HAVE A STRONG NEEDS AND DESIRES TO BE WITH PEOPLE AT YOUR AGE, MAKING FRIENDS AND HAVING FUN WITHOUT YOUR FAMILY.
THESE CHANGES MARK THE ONSET OF PUBERTY, AND THE BEGINNING OF THE ADOLESCENT STAGE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
AS ADOLESCENTS DEVELOP PHYSICALLY, THEY ALSO DEVELOP COGNITIVELY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY, SOCIALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
Developing your Spirituality
Finding what gives meaning to your life and to all experiences you are going through

Mature Work Orientation

Here is an additional list of developmental tasks and skills a Filipino adolescent should acquire:
Continuation.
By developing one's self-esteem, the need for approval from others become less.
Being true to yourself and avoiding the tendency to please others.
Adolescents find it difficult to assert their individuality or uniqueness because they are afraid others will not approve or like them, or will not allow them to become a member of a group.
Conformity often occurs during this stage of development
Positive attitude toward work
"Work is Love made Visible" – The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (Lebanese Poet)
Developing a healthy and positive attitude toward work means that we see work as an expression of our love for people who are important to us, including ourselves.
Being Courageous in standing up and being different from your friends
The adolescent needs to feel he or she belongs to a group.
Belonging to a group does not necessarily mean losing one's identify and being guided by "mob rule", or what majority does.
Being courageous means learning to say "NO" to what one thinks is going against his or her belief.
Developing Self-Esteem
Learn to understand, accept, and appreciate oneself as a unique person.
Avoiding comparisons between you and other people is also a healthy way to develop self-esteem.
