Study paper from 2002 in the field of Education - Educational Psychology, grade: 1, University of Vechta; formerly Vechta University (Institute for Educational Science), language: German. Abstract: Every person goes through a phase in their life where they are not quite sure what they want, where they rebel against their parents, seek connection with peer groups, dress in a conspicuous manner, and generally exhibit behavior that is not understood or accepted by others. This phase is referred to as adolescence. But what significance does this behavior have? Adolescents are in a time of upheaval. They must bid farewell to the protected and peaceful childhood and embark on the path to the self-responsible world of adulthood. At the center of this is a question that describes the core issue of adolescence: Who am I? Adolescent.
