Content: This leads to the attitude of diminishing the father and all that he represents; teenagers
    belittle their fathers to establish their own identities. The diminishing of the paternal
    model, the slow detachment of the adolescent from emotional ties to the family, and his or
    her shy and exhilarating entrance into the new life constitute one of the most significant
    experiences in human existence. Marked anxiety is intrinsic to adolescence. There is an
    urgency to the search for a specific identity on the part of adolescents through the
    acquisition of a model that can reassure them regarding their maturity. Teenagers see the
    need to find their identities to help them with adult decisions such as choosing a
    profession, getting married, having a family, and adopting acceptable political and social
    stances. The gap between the welcome that young people are expecting and the way in which
    they actually are welcomed into adult society is sometimes responsible for the
    "drama" of adolescence. Teenagers are unable to complete the process of adolescence
    if they do not achieve a stable organization of the self. Failure to do this may
    lead to deviant behavior in the postadolescent phase, in which it is impossible to hold
    the doors to many possible life-choice options permanently open. Exploring the problems of adolescence in current society
    means seeking to clarify the place and role claimed by the adolescent state in the social
    system.
