Adolescence
What is Special about Adolescence?
Adolescence stage is
a milestone to all
individuals since it
serves as the
metamorphosis in
becoming an adult.
 Three Stages of Adolescence
• Early adolescence (10-13 years old) is the beginning stages of puberty where
both sexes experience significant physical growth and increased sexual interest.

• Middle adolescence (14-16 years old) is a stage where puberty is already

completed. In this stage, both sexes continue to experience growing capacity
for abstract ideas. This is also where numerous social and emotional changes
occur.

• Late adolescence (17-19 years old) is a mark of the final preparations for adult
roles. The developmental demands of the late adolescence extend up to the
period of young adulthood.
Challenges
of Middle
and Late
Adolescence
 Middle Adolescence (Ages 14-16)

During this stage, adolescents become morally aware

(Morality refers to the beliefs about what is right behavior and what
is wrong behavior). They have the potential ability for abstract
thinking which is characterized by the ability to apply concepts and
to create and comprehend generalizations. They also experience
desire for independence, which is the freedom from the control or
influence of other people.
 Late Adolescence (Ages 17-19)

During this stage, adolescents attain increased

independence and emotional stability, which enables a person to
manage her emotions and life. Adolescents also attain the ability to
think about ideas logically, make plans, and gain a firm sense of
identity (Identity refers to the set of qualities and beliefs that make
one person or group different from others). They are also
concerned with romantic relationships.
