INTRODUCTION
You have probably heard the term “identity crisis” before and you probably have a fairly good idea of what it means. The
concept originates in the work of developmental psychologist Erik Erikson who believed that the formation of identity was one
of the most important parts of the person life.
According to Erikson, identity crisis is one of the most important conflicts people face in development. It is a time of
intensive analysis and exploration of different ways of looking at oneself.
This lesson will help you understand and have a comprehensive study about Identity crisis and the need for
support and understanding of the family.
Build Your Understanding
IDENTITY CRISIS is a feeling of not being sure about one’s self and what purpose one has
in life. This results to confusion and sadness.
Many teenagers experience it. This usually happens when at one time they will be treated
as children and at another time they will be treated as young adults. It is a dilemma sometimes
on some teenagers that they do not know what behavior they should conduct. Others call them
“tweens” since they belong to a group in between being a child and an adult.
Symptoms
While we all question who we are from time to time, you may be having an identity crisis if
you are going through a big change or stressful time in life and the following questions begin to
interfere with your daily life.
What am I passionate about?
What are my spiritual beliefs?
What are my values?
What is my role in society or purpose in life?
Who am I?
This question may be in general, or in regards to your relationships, age, and/or career.
SEXUAL IDENTITY refers to the sexual self-concept adolescents or teenagers develop in themselves. At the first
time teenagers recognize their feelings of sexual attraction marks the beginning of their sexual identity and they carry
this on throughout their lives.
This is the state when teenagers establish to whom they are romantically or sexually attracted to. Their sexual identity
dictates their sexual behavior or their sexual acts.
“It takes courage to be who you really are. Talk to someone you can
trust if you ever feel confused, pressured or scared to be yourself”
Retrieved from: kidshelpline.com.au
Most people know from very young who they want to have relationships with. For others, it can take until they’re
adults or longer to make sense of their sexuality.
But remember, sexuality is NOT A CHOICE! It is different for everyone and is a natural part of who you are. Everyone
has the right to feel comfortable and be accepted for who they are.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION is the romantic or sexual attraction one has with other person.
This stage is very critical for at this point, teenagers identify their sexual identity and there is a need for the
support and guidance of the family, especially the parents.
The parents must be aware of the personal choices that their children will make so that they may have an idea on
sexual orientation of their children. It was mentioned in the first part of the lesson that many factors may influence the
sexuality of a person. Therefore, whatever may be the sexual identity of teenagers, the family must understand them.
The mother may advise young girls to take care of their bodies and be careful in
having relationships with the opposite sex. Teenage girls who are already having their
monthly period or menstruation are biologically capable of reproduction.
The father may also advise young boys to be
responsible with their sexual activities for they are also capable of reproduction by the time
they reach adolescence.
Teenagers who are entering romantic relationships have the tendency to be involved in premarital sex,
especially those who lack parental guidance.
Premarital sex may eventually result to teenage pregnancy of the girl.
Teenage pregnancy brings about danger both for the teenage mother and the child. Teenage
mothers are not psychologically prepared for pregnancy or motherhood. Teenage mothers tend to
have a prolonged labor that delays the delivery of the baby resulting to complications affecting the
baby mostly.
Teenagers who get pregnant are definitely unprepared for this unexpected situation. If there
will be no support from the parents and even from the partner, the teenage mother may think of
aborting the baby. Self-induced abortion is a very dangerous process. It may cause serious infection to the mother, sterility,
or inability to conceive again, and the worst effect is the death of the mother.
While teenagers are passing through adolescence, a strong support system must be given to them. Every member of
the family and close friends play vital roles so that teenagers may successfully pass through this stage of their lives.
