 Situation No. 1

John is an active member of school

organizations. He has a lot of talents to
share and ideas to contribute to their club.
Aside from that, he is known for his looks,
neatness, and tidiness. However, these
seemingly likeable characteristics became
the reasons that many get envious and try to
create rumors and gossips about him. This
hurt him so much that he almost wanted to
drop from schooling.
 Situation No. 2

Erica is a Grade 11 student. Like any other

girls she is sociable and have a lot of friends in
school. She is just an average student, but having
a crush on her top one classmate urged her to
spend late nights studying to keep up with him.
However, all her efforts still fell short, and she did
not make it to the cut of students with honors.
Because of this, she developed an eating disorder
that caused her to lose huge weight. She also
started to have breakouts. With these, the then
friendly Erica became aloof and self-conscious.

 Developmental Tasks and
Challenges of Adolescence
Adolescence is the transition period between childhood
and early adulthood– the most rapid stage of human
development. According to World Health Organization
(WHO), it is a period of life with specific health and
development needs and rights. It is also a time to develop
knowledge and skills, learn to manage emotions and
relationship, and acquire attributes and abilities that
will be important for enjoying the adolescent years and
assuming adult roles.
Cambridge Dictionary defines developmental as relating
to the process of growing or changing into a more
advance, larger and stronger form, while challenges is
defined as something that needs great mental or
physical effort in order to be done successfully and
therefore tests a person’s ability. The challenges the
adolescents are facing occur during the development of
his/her biological, cognitive, and physiological, spiritual and
moral aspects.

 Developmental Tasks of
Adolescence
In the eight stages of Psychosocial Developmental Theory of Erik
Erikson, Identity vs. Role Confusion (this stage is the age between 12 to
18 years old) explains that adolescents would try to explore and
figure out their own identity and try to fit in with social
interactions at the same time.

According to Erikson, an adolescent’s main task is developing a sense

of self. Adolescents struggle with questions “Who am I?” and “What do
I want to do with my life?” Most of the adolescents try to explore
various roles and ideas and look for a place where they can fit,
set goals, and attempt to discover themselves.
As an adolescent who is entering the stage of adulthood, you
are responsible for your own being. Accepting yourself and
ensuring your body’s physical health help you build stronger
personality and sense of identity. Likewise, building a strong
relationship with your family and showing affection and
respect to others can improve interactions with them.
Establishing social responsibility, moreover, develops
personal and moral values to guide you on how to react to
social issues.
Entering adulthood is undeniably a big challenge. At
this stage of your life, your family, your school, and
your community contribute to prepare you in this
life-changing task. You should, in turn, need to be
emotionally prepared since you would need to
choose people whom you think would help you fulfill
these tasks in order for you to reach you goals in life.
