What’s In
Hello senior high school students! It is time to know each other. I would like
you to write about yourself by answering the following basic questions: 1. What is
your name?
2. Where do you live?
3. When is your birthday?
4. Who are your parents?
5 minutes is given for you to answer those questions. Your answers to those
questions would tell who you are based on the basic information. But, do you really

know more about who you are as a person? Let us start your journey towards
knowing yourself better.
What’s New
Activity 1: My Unique Self-Draw a Symbol
Before you discover yourself more, I would like you to know yourself first by
doing this first activity. Just follow the instructions given below . In a short bond
paper, draw and label your individual uniqueness.

What is It
Adolescence period is considered as a challenging stage in one’s life because
it is the transition phase from childhood to adulthood. Although most individuals
pass through adolescence without excessively high levels of "storm and stress," many
have experience trouble or difficulty. Why? Is there something unique about this
developmental period that puts adolescents at risk for difficulty? Some of the negative
psychological changes associated with adolescent development result from a
mismatch between the needs of developing adolescents and the opportunities
afforded them by their social environments (Eccles, et al.) In this note, it is important
to know better yourself so as not to experience such trouble.
• thoughts- the way you think, and how you perceive things around you; •
feelings or emotions- how you feel about the things around you; and •
sensations- a widespread reaction of interest and excitement about
something.
The union of these elements makes up your character or personality and
essentially distinguishes you from others. No two individuals are exactly alike thus,
YOU are UNIQUE...! and that makes you special. Self-awareness starts with
assessing yourself so, to further know yourself, it is important to pause for a while
and analyze what you feel, think, and do. Your ability to reflect and think about your
own thoughts, feelings, actions is called introspection which is essential in
understanding and improving yourself.
Your physical attributes such as height, skin complexion, temperament and
the likes may be inherited from your parents. On the other hand, the environment
where you grow and the people around you may contribute as well in your attitude
like how you behave on a given situation. Furthermore, environment and hereditary
factors have contributed in the physical attributes and psychological makeup of a
person.

Identifying Your Strengths and Weaknesses
No one is perfect. Everyone has their
weaknesses and limitations just like
you right? Thus, it is never good to
compare oneself with others because it
will only cause frustrations as there
will always individuals gifted with more
traits and qualities. To avoid
discontentment and dissatisfaction, it
is better to focus on what one has. As

would say “positive lang bawal
https://www.canstockphoto.com/illustration/weak
ang nega”.
Identifying your strength and weaknesses can provide you with more
information about yourself. In determining your strengths, you will become: 1. more
empowered to do developmental tasks such as capable of establishing mature
relationships with others, emotional independent, demonstrate responsible
behaviors;
2. equipped with skills essential in making wise decisions in life; 3. able to
analyze complex situations logically and sensibly; and finally 4. more
confident in doing your tasks and become more competent in achieving your
goals.
On the other side, knowing your weaknesses gives you the chance to know
your limitations and so you can identify situations where you have to say no to a
certain situation you are into. Perhaps you can already identify your weaknesses, but
the challenge is, what do you do with these limitations? Remember that becoming
more aware of your weaknesses is just a starting point of self-development. You must
find ways to enhance your capabilities and transforming your weaknesses into
strength. How? Read some tips below:
1. accept your weaknesses and limitations as a person;
2. keep on trying especially on the things you think you are weak; 3. develop
your knowledge and skills by improving your study habits and keep doing
the skills you are good at;
4. acknowledge your little successes and achievements; and
5. develop positive attitudes or outlook in dealing with life’s challenges.
5
Please read the text below for you to work on your weaknesses and build your
strengths.
Most failures emanate from weaknesses that are not recognized or probably
recognized but not given appropriate attention or remedy. This could be a weakness
in communications, personality or ability. Instead of giving up or indulging in self
pity, take action. Go for speech lessons, get skills upgrading, attend personality
development sessions or whatever appropriate remedies to your perceived
weakness.
Instead of simply focusing on your weaknesses, recognize your own talents
and abilities, build on them, utilize them to your greatest advantage. This is where
you can build your name and popularity. Handicapped people like Jose Feliciano
and other blind singers did not brood over their physical handicap. They recognized
that they have a golden voice so they search for ways to enrich that talent and now they
have won international fame in the field of music.

Example: A lady can say “I`m ugly” yet other consider her very charming. Or
conversely, one can have the illusion of saying “I am very intelligent or competent”
when most of his ideas sound unreasonable or illogical to most of the people.
There is indeed a big difference between what you see in yourself (real self-image)
and what is projected in the eyes of the others (your social image).
1. How realistic is your self- image?
2. To what extent does it reflect your real self?

What’s In
Welcome back senior high school students in your next journey of knowing
yourself better! You have learned in the previous module that the concept of self is a
result of the interplay of the different elements of your personality namely; body,
thoughts, emotions, and sensations. The challenges that you are going through today
as a teenager will serve as your motivation of becoming the person you will be in the
future.
What’s New
Activity 2: THE CHANGES IN YOU
It is now time to explore the world of the adolescence stage. Get your journal
and write at least two (2) changes of the different aspects of holistic development that
you have observed with yourself.
Aspects of Holistic Development:
1. Physical/Physiological 4. Social
2. Cognitive 5. Moral/Spiritual
3. Psychological/Emotional
15
What is It
Adolescence is referred to as the teenage years, which start at the age of
twelve (12) and end at the age of twenty-one (21). The beginning of the physiological
development is shown by the onset of puberty. There are children who experience
puberty as early as the age of nine (9). What is puberty then? Puberty refers to the
physical transformation that a child experiences as sexual maturity is reached. It is
at this stage that the child may be overly concerned with appearance and body image
(Lewis 2015).
The life stage of the teenagers is very crucial because it is a transition from
one stage to another (Hurlock, 1982). Teenagers usually strive to establish their
personalities to prove that they are adults already however immediately and
disappointingly. More so, rejection is a primary issue during adolescence.
The sense of belongingness is a struggle, the feeling of being unaccepted, and
being alone place the teenagers to a difficult situation which may result to peer
pressure, easily influenced by peers. Proper guidance and constant follow-up from
their support system like parents and other special people around them is very
important. But all of these wonders and challenges make an important crossroad in
your journey in life. Now, let us understand the different aspects of development of
adolescence.
While the changes among girls; start their growth spurt earlier than boys, the
uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina, grow rapidly during puberty, menarche,
or the first menstrual period, marks a girl’s sexual maturity and is indicative of her
capacity to be pregnant, more melodious voice, hips become wider and rounder
which resulted in the enlargement of their pelvic region, and breasts also develop
and muscles grow in size and strength.
Androgens and Estrogens are hormones or chemical substances produced by
endocrine glands that actively affect physical growth and development. These
16
hormones are present in both males and females. However, each of them functions
more strongly in one sex than the other. Testosterone an androgen that is strongly
associated in the physical maturation of boys. Increased level of testosterone in males
is related to changes in height, deepening of voice, and development of genitals, as
well as sexual desires and activities. Estradiol An estrogen that is strongly associated
in the physical development of girls such as widening of hips, and breast and uterine
development. These hormonal changes especially among girls may trigger weight gain
and is often associated with obesity.
Physical attractiveness is one of the major concerns of teenagers. According to
Stice and Shaw (2002), only few adolescents experience body-cathexis or satisfaction
with their bodies. They do things to prove that they are attractive. Further, below are
the implications of physical changes among teenagers:
► Their concerns about their physical appearance may also increase ► May
realize that some people treat those who are attractive better than those who
are less attractive.
► It also explains why some teens are shy and cumbersome in appearing in
public as well as in expressing their ideas.
► Some are too conscious to do even simple activities such as walking along
the school corridor, and even sensitive to criticisms.
► Some teenagers have low self- esteem and lack of self-confidence. Remember
that it is in understandable to get affected by these body changes. The challenge is
how to cope with these changes? You just need to have some adjustments- on how
you view the things that are happening in your body both inside and outside. You
may put emphasis on personal hygiene to reduce acne and body odor. Perform
physical exercises and activities to avoid being fat and be fit instead. Yet, it is only
through self-acceptance that you become brave enough to face the “whole new
you”.
Cognitive Changes
Cognitive development refers to the progression of one’s ability to think ang
reason out, adolescents develop the ability to think and interconnect things in
relation to problem solving. During adolescence, your brain goes through significant
structural development stages as well. The neurons in the corpus callosum thicken
and connect the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere of the brain, making the
brain process information faster and more effectively.
Development is also observed in the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in
decision-making, reasoning, and controlling one’s emotions. Likewise, amygdala, the
seat of your emotions such as anger, sadness, and happiness, matures much earlier
than the prefrontal cortex. The cognitive apparatuses develop, teenagers become
more capable of thinking abstractly, instead of thinking only of today which may lead
to:
• ask a lot of questions, not only about yourself but also about everything
around you
• no longer comfortable with simple explanations but you look for a deeper
meaning of things
17
• express their doubts about their parents parenting style as well as the
principles and beliefs of their family
• compare the parenting styles at home and that of the peers.
These may result to being pickle-minded or tendency of being undecisive and
leads you to explore and experiment. Moreover, the fast-changing decisions prompt
teenagers to engage in risky behaviors such as cutting classes, cheating, smoking
and or drugs, drinking alcoholic beverages, lying, computer game addiction, and even
stealing. In this manner, you are encouraged to pause and study your situation
before making any unnecessary actions or decisions. It is of great help if you consult
a trusted adult like your parents, brothers or sisters, your teachers, or any confidant
regarding your situation.
Psychological or Emotional Changes
According to Hurlock (1982), adolescence, as a transition period, has often
been described as a period of “storm and stress”. You get easily excited with some
situations, but you also tend to easily show your irritation. Emotional maturity
should be achieved by the end of adolescence. The indicators that you have finally
achieved emotional maturity are:
a. You know how to express your emotions in a socially acceptable manner b.
When you face difficult situations, you exercise critical thinking and not
being emotionally carried away
c. You realize that lessons can be learned from each challenging experience
d. You become less reactive to provocations and emotionally heated
situations.
These realizations are important in your journey toward self-actualization.
Social Changes
One of the key concepts crucial in the study of adolescence is identity crisis.
Based on Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development, the period of adolescence is
the most challenging and turbulent stage in the framing of the identity of an
individual. He espouses that the struggle in forming one’s identity and the confusion
of roles attached to it occurs around the time when adolescence happens. On the
other hand, social pressures and demands add to the stress and storm of the
adolescence stage. Here are some of the social changes you may experience please
take note:
1. Your attitude, speech, interests,
appearance, and behavior are
greatly influenced by your
peers, as you spend more time
outside your home.
2. You may prefer fewer friends
and intimate relationship and
become curious about
relationships with the opposite
party effect-with-children/
Photos sex and experience physical attraction.

3. You are more socially competent and tend to participate more in social
gatherings which is manifested in your ability to carry on conversations, behave
properly in front of people, and have confidence to share your talents. 4. Your
need for belongingness is manifested in this stage.
However, the need of belongingness if not handled well, this may lead to peer
pressure, you conform to the standards of your peers or the expectation that you need
to comply to the standards of your peer groups without considering the
consequences. This is shown when you are easily influenced by others like giving in
to drinking alcoholic beverages, playing computer games, and strolling in the mall.
Worst cases is when you give in for cutting classes, smoking, taking illegal drugs,
and perform sexual activities because of peer pressure, the fear of being labelled as
“kill joy” and the fear that they may “unfriend” you in the group.
You need to make social adjustments to overcome challenges. What do you
need to do to successfully make social adjustments? Enhance your social skills by
carrying yourself gracefully in front of others, and just enjoy the company of your
peers. To cope up with social pressures, you should also learn to clarify your
limitations, and learn to say no so that you maintain self-reliance.

What’s In
Senior high school students are you still okay? Welcome back to your next
journey of knowing yourself well! You have learned in the previous module the various
changes of the different aspects of your holistic development like
physical/physiological, social, cognitive, moral/spiritual, and
psychological/emotional. Those various changes may have help you in
understanding better yourself. From the previous lesson, you have gained insights
on how to effectively cope with these changes, Now, you will learn the various
developmental tasks in adolescence.
Growing up is never easy considering the various developmental tasks that
you need to learn to prepare yourself to the challenges of life. According to Robert
Havighurst, these developmental tasks refer to the specific knowledge, skills,
attitudes, and functions that a person needs to acquire and, in turn, be able to
demonstrate at certain periods in his or her life. Knowing your tasks is very important
for this will serve as your guide in doing things that are expected of you. Now, please
reflect to the following questions below:
a. What are your tasks at home?
b. At school?
c. At the community?
You can reserve your answers as you explore this 3rd wave of knowing more of
yourself.
What’s New
Activity1: BEFORE AND NOW…
The objective of this activity is to help you discover what life was before and
compare it with your present life as a teenager. By uncovering the differences, you
may be able to understand how generations evolve and be able to describe the
characteristics of the modern generations. Your answers may be based from their life
style, courting style, playing, studying and others. Write your answers below .
29
What is It
The Developmental Tasks in Adolescence
According to Robert Havighurst, the developmental tasks during adolescence are
as follows:
1. Achieving new and more mature relations with age mates of both sexes
2. Achieving a masculine or feminine social role
3. Accepting one’s physique and using one’s body effectively
4. Achieving emotional independence from parents and other adults
5. Preparing for marriage and family life
6. Preparing for economic career
7. Acquiring a set of values and an ethical system as a guide to behavior
developing ideology
8. Desiring, accepting, and achieving socially responsible behavior. These
developmental tasks are mastered by teenagers in a sequential order, following
three stages in the adolescence period, namely: early adolescence, middle
adolescence, and late adolescence (Kimmel and Weiner, 1995).
✓ Early Adolescence (this happens when you are 12-13 years old) At this stage
you may experience rapid growth and various changes. Your primary
developmental tasks at this stage involves the following:
▪ Adapting to biological and mental development
▪ Accept one’s physique and use one’s body effectively
▪ Embrace the fact that you are physically maturing already and know how to
take care of your body
▪ Already sexually capable of reproduction
▪ You need to be comfortable with the way you look.
✓ Late Adolescence
This starts when you are 17 years old until you have shown a sense of
consistency in your personal identity in relation to people around you, and you have
begun to form some fairly definite social roles, value systems, and life goals (Kimmel
and Weiner, 1995). The tasks expected of you at this stage are the following:
▪ Already formed attitudes, learned skills, and established relationships that will
give you bases of ascertaining what kind of a person you are or what kind of
life you want to lead.
30
▪ Focused on planning and preparing for marriage and family life, preparing for
an economic career, on acquiring a set of values and an ethical system as a
guide to behavior or ideology, and on desiring and achieving socially
responsible behavior.
It is true that growing up has never been easy and adolescence is full of challenges
because it is a stage of “becoming” rather than of “being”. You need to work hard
to master these developmental tasks and the challenge is to maintain a positive
attitude towards those responsibilities that you will be taking into. Do not take it as
a difficult task but rather take it as an opportunity for you to grow. What is important
is you are learning in each task, improve the things that are not well done, and
embrace the things undone.
31
personality. However, being materialistic results in prioritizing image rather than
working on one’s inner beauty and holistic value as a person. That is one thing that
teenagers should be extra careful because they might be too materialistic and forget
self- respect self- value.
Taking charge or assuming responsibility is the ability to choose your own
responses (Convey, 2004) to encountered circumstances. This means that you are
responsible and accountable of your behavior, without making excuses or blaming
others for your mistakes. Successful people take full responsibility of their actions.
They take charge to realize their goals, act with motivation and determination, and
correct their mistakes to stay on track of their goals. Now, listen to this call for
responsibility! Start looking yourself and work on the following building blocks of
responsibility by Feiden (1991):
1. A strong sense of self-esteem. The most important building block of
responsibility is high self-esteem, which should be a positive belief in
oneself.
2. The capacity for empathy. The ability to put oneself in another’s shoes so
that you understand what he/she is going through.
3. Knowing right from wrong. Taking accountability of your actions means
facing the consequences of your actions.
4. Developing good judgement. Ability to make good decisions make you
rooted to integrity and strong personal values.
Hey Senior High School students, we want to see you successful in the
future..!

What’s In
How are you senior high school students? Welcome again to your journey of
knowing yourself well! You have learned in the previous module the developmental
tasks expected of an adolescent like you. Those developmental tasks are considered
preparatory to adulthood thus, knowing all of those can help you become more
responsible in the next stage of life. The completion of such tasks would bring about
fulfilment and success in your teenage life however, inability to do the tasks expected
of you would also result to disappointment, depression, and struggles in the future
undertakings.
In this module, you will learn the challenges and pitfalls among adolescence
and its strategies to cope with those challenges. According to David Geldard and
Kathryn Geldard (2006) adolescence is a time in young people’s lives when they move
toward independence, autonomy, and maturity. Along in that journey are the
challenges and difficulties that a teenager may experience for according to others that
problems and difficulties are considered “spices of life” which means that life is worth
living if you have taken those difficulties as an opportunity for you to grow. So, let
us start exploring this module.
What’s New
Activity 1: RISKY BEHAVIORS ON THE GO
The objective of this activity is to help you identify risky or dangerous
behaviors that you usually observe among adolescents. Write risky behaviors and
identify the causes of such risky behavior through a graphic organizer (GO).
What is It
What causes risky behavior? Santrock (2012) cited the biopsychosocial approach in
emphasizing that biological, psychological, and social factors interplay and
contribute to create problems that you need to overcome during adolescence.
Biological or physical factors such as
genes, hormones and brain
development cause challenges that
adolescents need to face. According to
Casey et.al., (2011) the development of
the prefrontal cortex after amygdala
has been linked to risk-taking
behaviors and sexual experimentation.
While the prefrontal cortex is still
developing, your brain may not be able
to process what you feel and control
your actions. In this case, it may cause

40
Accordingly, one of the most difficult challenges that you encounter as a
teenager is finding a sense of identity. The absence of concrete self-identity causes
heightened emotionality that usually causes problems. Later, you get irritated and
have mood swings easily. Sometimes, mood swings become too erratic and negative,
resulting in relationship problems and depressions. If you have become used to
getting what you want, then self-control may become an issue. If self-control is not
mastered, concerns like drug abuse, computer gaming, other delinquent acts may
emerge.as cited by Anderson et. Al., (2007) low conscientiousness has been
associated with drug abuse and behavior problems. Hence, your emotions can
influence your actions and decisions; so, you become less objective, and your actions
may not be effective.
There are social factors that contribute to the emergence of an adolescent
namely family, peers, school, socio-economic status and immediate environment.
You spend most of your time with your peers during adolescence which may have
negative effects on your attitudes and behavior especially when your friends are not
so good influencer. For example, if you are fond of going out with friends who are
smokers and drinkers of alcoholic beverages, there is a great possibility that you will
also learn to smoke and drink. On the other hand, if you will not go with them, you
might be rejected by them. Furthermore, if you experience rejection, it may cause
depression if not handled well. Today, adolescents engage in romantic relationships
at an early age and may suffer various consequences which may also lead to rejection.
Connolly and McIsaac (2009) cited that early dating is linked to substance abuse,
and that unsuccessful
romantic relationships lead to
depression.
Additionally, teenagers
who
drop out from school are
more prone to
drug addiction and other
delinquent
activities. Also, there are
studies that
proves that poverty is linked to many
problems that adolescents are
vulnerable to (Santiago, et,al., 2011).
And Chen et.al. (2011) also mentioned
that adolescents who live in an
unhealthy environment are in higher
risks for developing problems. Photos retrieved @ http://familybootcamp.org/video game-addiction
41
– Non-intact families due to non-marriage, separation, parent/s working abroad,
and death usually experience problems.
42
6. committing suicide – is usually associated with depression which is closely
related with a sense of hopelessness, low self-esteem, and high self-blame
(O’Donnell et.al., 2004).
After knowing these pitfalls and challenges, it will help you avoid being trapped
to difficult situations. Sometimes teenagers put themselves into these situations
mainly because of their inability to express their feelings or emotions especially when
their significant people have high expectations from them. But do not worry because
there are strategies to cope with these challenges…
The challenges that you will encounter might cause pain and stress on your
part. While you are capable to handle such situations, it may cause pressures that
would affect your well-being. So, here are some of the strategies that may help you
do so (Sevilla, 2000):
1. Learn to accept what you feel – when you feel sad, angry, or envious, you need
to embrace these feelings because they are real emotions. They are only
reflective of who you are- a human being. Accepting your feelings means
allowing yourself to feel and express them.
2. Identify your vulnerabilities – knowing when you feel intense emotions is
important to acknowledge. For instance, you have noticed that before you flare
up in anger, you first feel your face getting hot, your knees trembling, and your
heart pounding very fast. The next time you feel angry and you see these signs,
you excuse yourself from the discussion and walk away.
3. Develop your talents and interests – know your interests or things that you
enjoy. After doing so, then develop those competencies, talents, and skills in
you. With these, you do not allow negative thoughts or feelings conquer your
heart.
4. Become more involved with others – as they say no one is an island so, we need
others to support us. Do not just focus on yourself but rather live your life
with other people that can give you happiness and influence you to become a
good person.
5. Seek help when needed – most of the adolescents would feel shy and are
hesitant to ask for help because they might feel that they add burden to the
person they are asking help for. But you must remember that teenager still
must learn a lot of ways of being effective and psychologically healthy. Thus,
you still seek for help to your support system.

Reading: BEING HAPPY
You may have defects, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but do not
forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can prevent it
from going into decadence. There are many that need you, admire you and love you.
I would like to remind
you that being happy is not having a sky without storms, or roads without
accidents, or work without fatigue, or relationships without disappointments.
Being happy is finding strength in forgiveness, hope in one’s battles, security at the
stage of fear, love in disagreements.
Being happy is not only to treasure the smile, but that you also reflect on the
sadness. It is not just commemorating the event, but also learning lessons in failures.
It is not just having joy with the applause, but also having joy in anonymity.
Being happy is to recognize that it is worthwhile to live, despite all the
challenges, misunderstandings, and times of crises.
Being happy is not inevitable fate, but a victory for those who can travel
towards it with your own being.
Being happy is to stop being a victim of problems but become an actor in
history itself. It is not only to cross the deserts outside of ourselves, but still more, to
be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul. It is to thank God every morning
for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of one's feelings. It is to know how to talk about
ourselves. It is to bear with courage when hearing a "no". It is to have the security to
receive criticism, even if is unfair. It is to kiss the children, pamper the parents, have
poetic moments with friends, even if they have hurt us.
Being happy means allowing the free, happy, and simple child inside each of
us to live; having the maturity to say, "I was wrong"; having the audacity to say,
"forgive me". It is to have sensitivity in expressing, "I need you"; to have the ability of
saying, "I love you." So that your life becomes a garden full of opportunities for being
happy...
In your spring-time, may you become a lover of joy. In your winter, may you
become a friend of wisdom. And when you go wrong along the way, you start all over
again. Thus, you will be more passionate about life. And you will find that happiness
is not about having a perfect life but about using tears to water tolerance, losses to
refine patience, failures to carve serenity, pain to lapidate pleasure, obstacles to open
the windows of intelligence.
Never give up ... Never give up on the people you love. Never give up from being
happy because life is an incredible show. And you are a special human being! Source:
