Introduction
In the previous lessons, we discussed how adolescents
were able to know themselves through self-exploration
and self-disclosure. It is imperative that a person must
know his strengths and limitations in order to deal with
others better. By embracing one’s unique
characteristics and accepting boundaries, adolescents
learn to appreciate and see themselves in a better
perspective.
Lessons 3 presents the developmental stages in the
middle and late adolescence and its appropriate
developmental, milestone and tasks. This is necessary to
know and evaluate one’s milestone and compare it with
their peers. This will challenge and inspire adolescents
to properly act based on what the society expects from
them towards becoming responsible and mature
individuals.
