broken image

  “Adolescents experience dramatic changes in physical appearance, family relations, http://college-application-essay-services521647.mystrikingly.com/ peer relations, sexuality, and media useâ€� (Arnett, 2012).   Through these experiences, adolescents have the opportunity to change their outlook and behavior.  From family relations to questioning identity, to peer relationships and self-esteem, adolescents have various ways of coping with the changes they are presented with. The stories of José and Chhaya reflect the changes adolescents go through to better understand who they are.  Their stories mainly look at their peer and family relations, and the impact they had on José and Chhaya.  These stories accurately represent the discussions and readings we’ve had in class (J.Davis, Psych 234, February 28, 2014).Identity is defined as a person being aware of their uniqueness in terms of beliefs, attitudes, and aspirations.  As most people have difficulty defining the word identity, most people struggle with their own identity. This can be particularly true for adolescents.
