    THE CHALLENGES OF

    MIDDLE AND LATE


    ADOLESCENCE
    GROUP BELONGINGNESS

    • Adolescents strongly felt the need to find a


    group to belong to and fit well in.
    • There is a warm sense of comfort when one
    can identify with a group of people who have
    similar interests and values.
    • Teenage years are usually marked with one’s
    peers as the center of the teenager’s social
    relationships.
    GROUP BELONGINGNESS

    • It pays to be true to oneself, and understand


    that one does not need to please other
    people by doing what they want to do.
    • In the Philippines, there has been countless
    numbers of deaths from fraternity hazing.
    • It is always good to talk to an experienced
    adult before making choices like these.
    RELATIONSHIPS

    • Relationships require a person to be emotionally


    mature.
    • This may be difficult when maintaining a relationship
    with one’s parents who may have opponent views.
    • But parents sometimes imagine the worst scenarios- Is
    it a safe place? Will the person driving be good at
    driving?
    • When adolescents fail to understand why their parents
    are being “overly” protective, strict/controlling, they
    tend to rebel.
    RELATING WITH PEERS

    • One’s barkada is easier as adolescents share


    the same boat and carry similar questions,
    concerns and complaints.
    • While it is easy to establish friendships, it is
    more challenging to maintain friendships.
    • True friendship is built on mutual respect and
    trust.
    ROMANTIC FRIENDSHIPS

    • Due to the highly intense and strong


    emotional involved in this type of
    relationships, one may not be thinking more
    with reason and objectivity.
    • Broken hearts may allow one person to know
    more about himself and the way he copes with
    these challenges.
    SEXUALITY AND SEXUAL
    RELATIONSHIPS

    • During these adolescent years,


    one’s hormones become very
    active and brings many sexual
    passions.
    SEXUALITY AND SEXUAL
    RELATIONSHIPS

    • Though it may be hard to tell the


    difference between genuine love and
    infatuation, it would be good to ask
    this question: if I am not feeling to be
    physical with him, would he still
    want to pursue our romantic
    relationship?
    ACADEMIC CONCERNS

    • It can be easy to get distracted


    with other things that may divert
    one’s attention from fulfilling
    one’s academic obligations.
    ACADEMIC CONCERNS

    • Another academic concern could be the


    fear of failure.
    • Too much anxiety may hinder a person
    from doing one’s best.
    • On the other hand, it has also been
    scientifically shown that too little anxiety
    will also inhibit a person’s performance.
    ACADEMIC CONCERNS

    • Grades are important because it helps


    a person achieve goals of academic
    excellence and further studies.
    • the most important lesson one learns
    in school is how one learns.
    • One choice of a career will have P
    a direct impact on the future and TH
    help guide its course.
