transitional period of physical and psychological human development
between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence occurs from 12 to 22-25
years old.

materials?
 Adolescence stage is the time of changes. Changes in physical,
psychological, personality and social development. Like in psychological
aspect mostly there is emergence of abstract thinking and the growing
ability. Based on what I have learned, when a human reached in
adolescence stage, he or she encounters a lot of problems and because of
that he or she can use his abstract or critical thinking to solve those
dilemmas.

3. Describe your adolescence stage.

 While I’m still at this phase of life (late adolescence), I can say that life is full
of challenges. In this kind of age, I am pressured about doing serious
decisions. Also, when it comes to socializing, I have doubt that might
someone judge me. But I need to surpass those negative thoughts of mine.
Moreover, my adolescence stage is not just about challenges but there’s
also enjoyment. Such as having peer relationship, self-reliance and thinking
ability improvement.
