When all of this is combined it leads to issues in other aspects of the teen’s life (home, school, etc.). However, these are not the only characteristics of adolescent society, as teens are still caught between the struggle to listen to their parents while finding their own identity (Santrock, 2007). This is one of the biggest challenges facing the adolescent and ultimately is what leads to defining who they are and what they will become. This is what makes this the adolescent stage different from other stages, as when one is younger their roles are defined by expectations set forth by their parents. In addition, the stage of young adulthood marks a new, secure beginning in which roles are also newly defined. Thus, it is no wonder adolescents become confused by the newfound responsibilities placed upon them. In conclusion, adolescents are often misunderstood by many adults and young adults who forgot what it was like to once be that age. There are often stereotypes that come with being an adolescent, especially in today’s society where there are more expectations placed on many adolescents.
