Lesson 5: Developmental Tasks and Challenges of Adolescence

In this lesson, we will be focusing on the tasks and challenges that you experienced during your adolescence stage. Adolescence is the period of development that begins at puberty and ends at emerging adulthood. During puberty stage, there are changes that occur in the body of a child. It is a natural process that everyone goes through. Remember when you started to notice the rapid changes in your body? Mostly resulted to your being self-conscious and being overly emotional. Sometimes, you would want to be accepted and be “in”, but at times, you would want to be just left alone. These adjustments are part of developmental changes during adolescence stage — the time when a child transitions in terms of physiology and cognition to fulfil a new role as an emerging adult.

We will walk along with you to discover yourself as you take the journey to the stage of becoming a responsible individual. Knowledge and understanding to oneself is the key to overcome the challenges in this period of your life. With guidance, assurance, and a better understanding of the process, you will have an easier time transitioning yourself in this extraordinary developmental stage.

What’s In

In Module 4, you learned that life is full of challenges. Nonetheless, what matters is how you manage and overcome the challenges that you encounter in your life. This may be difficult, but learning to accept these difficulties may lead you in the right directions. Your thoughts, feelings, and behavior toward a situation are reflection of yourself as a person. Moreover, dealing with circumstances makes you become a better individual.

Read and express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas on the following situations. Write your answers in your notebook.

Situation No. 1

John is an active member of school organizations. He has a lot of talents to share and ideas to contribute to their club. Aside from that, he is known for his looks, neatness, and tidiness. However, these seemingly likeable characteristics became the reasons that many get envious and try to create rumors and gossips about him. This hurt him so much that he almost wanted to drop from schooling

Situation No. 2

Erica is a Grade 11 student. Like any other girls she is sociable and have a lot of friends in school. She is just an average student, but having a crush on her top one classmate urged her to spend late nights studying to keep up with him. However, all her efforts still fell short and she did not make it to the cut of students with honors. Because of this, she developed an eating disorder that caused her to lose huge weight. She also started to have breakouts. With these, the then friendly Erica became aloof and self-conscious.

Give your reaction:

Processing Questions:

1. What kind of adolescent did the two students portray in the two situations?
2. What challenges did John and Erica experience?
3. What challenges do Filipino adolescents face most?

Notes to the Teacher

1. Process every activity. You can use question and answer method just to ensure that the learners understand it.
2. In the discussion, give additional information about the topic.
3. Multidisciplinary approach is encouraged. Search for additional resources for the topic.
4. Use the story of Alice in Wonderland as springboard to discuss the new lesson.

What’s New

“Who are you?’ said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.' What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. Explain yourself!’

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, because I’m not myself, you see.’

`I don’t see,’ said the Caterpillar.

I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, for I can’t understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.’

Alice in Wonderland-Lewis Carroll

Adolescence is defined as the period between the normal onset of puberty and the beginning of adulthood. In the Oxford English Dictionary, the origin of the word adolescence was from late Middle English (as a noun) and was derived via French from Latin adolescent, which means ‘coming to maturity’. Other derivation of the word the same origin is adolescere, from ad- ‘to’ + alescere ‘grow, grow up’, from alere ‘nourish’.

The transition period between childhood and early adulthood is quite difficult. This is the most crucial stage because this is the time when teens start defining themselves. Remember, however, that each adolescent’s experiences, individual changes, and growth vary.

Activity 1:

The following illustrations show a boy and a girl adolescent. Let one represent you and recall the challenges you have experienced during your adolescence stage. Write your answers inside the box below.

[illustration: a boy and a girl adolescent standing, drawn in black and white]

Example: rapid changes of physical appearance

Processing Questions:

1. What were the most difficult challenges you have encountered?
2. How were you able to overcome these challenges?
3. How did these challenges help you to be a better person? How do you think this would prepare you to your adulthood?

What is It

Developmental Challenges of Adolescence

Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and early adulthood– the most rapid stage of human development. According to World Health Organization (WHO), it is a period of life with specific health and development needs and rights. It is also a time to develop knowledge and skills, learn to manage emotions and relationship, and acquire attributes and abilities that will be important for enjoying the adolescent years and assuming adult roles.

Cambridge Dictionary defines developmental as relating to the process of growing or changing into a more advance, larger and stronger form, while challenges is defined as something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person’s ability. The challenges the adolescents are facing occur during the development of his/her biological, cognitive, and physiological, spiritual and moral aspects.

	Early Adolescence	Middle Adolescence	Late Adolescence
Biological Challenges	Developmental changes and the onset of puberty as indicated by growth spurt	Development of body shape Physical changes from puberty continue	Transition as the young person consolidates his identity and comes to grips with his future.
Psychological Challenges	Concrete thinking, but early moral concepts Development of sexual identity Possible of sexual preferences; peer interest	The concrete thinking, but early moral concepts; progression of sexual identity development The awakening of heterosexuality	Complex abstract thinking; identification of difference between law and morality Feeling himself/herself a completer and more separate person Development of personal identity
Social Challenges	Start of strong peer identification His group activities are primarily with members of his own sex.	The first tentative interest and approach towards the opposite sex usually takes place. The awakening of heterosexuality that often disrupts previous peer groupings and intimate friendships	Form and maintain truly intimate relationships with others whose beliefs, ideals, and motives he can see and respect as clearly as he does his own. Development of vocational capability and financial independence’
Behavioral Challenges	His behavior may temporarily show a disorganized, erratic quality along with a decreased willingness to accommodate the expectations of his parents and others Wide mood swings and periodic bouts of feeling ill-treated and unloved may dominate his emotional life.	This is the stage when adolescent rebellion starts Period of irritability, wide mood swings, and rapidly changing feelings.	He is more able to be selective and discriminating in his relationships

Developmental Tasks of Adolescence

In the eight stages of Psychosocial Developmental Theory of Erik Erikson, Identity vs. Role Confusion (this stage is the age between 12 to 18 years old) explains that adolescents would try to explore and figure out their own identity and try to fit in with social interactions at the same time. According to Erikson, an adolescent’s main task is developing a sense of self. Adolescents struggle with questions “Who am I?” and “What do I want to do with my life?” Most of the adolescents try to explore various roles and ideas and look for a place where they can fit, set goals, and attempt to discover themselves.

As an adolescent who is entering the stage of adulthood, you are responsible for your own being. Accepting yourself and ensuring your body’s physical health help you build stronger personality and sense of identity. Likewise, building a strong relationship with your family and showing affection and respect to others can improve interactions with them. Establishing social responsibility, moreover, develops personal and moral values to guide you on how to react to social issues.

Entering adulthood is undeniably a big challenge. At this stage of your life, your family, your school, and your community contribute to prepare you in this life-changing task. You should, in turn, need to be emotionally prepared since you would need to choose people whom you think would help you fulfill these tasks in order for you to reach you goals in life

Some years ago, Professor Robert J. Havighurst of the University of Chicago proposed that stages in human development can best be thought of in terms of the developmental tasks that are part of the normal transition. In his developmental tasks theory, he stressed out that when people successfully accomplish the developmental tasks at a stage, they feel pride and satisfaction. He defines developmental task as a task that arises at or about a certain period in life, unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated with the next period or stage in life.

Havighurst identified eleven Developmental Tasks of Normal Adolescence associated with the adolescent transition. However, he believes that adolescence do not progress through these multiple developmental tasks separately because adolescence tasks may vary with early, middle, and late periods of the transition.

Developmental Tasks of Adolescence

Early Adolescence	Middle Adolescence	Late Adolescence to Early Adult Life
Developing self-concept Self-evaluation of their physical acceptability Achieving personal independence	Emergence of new thinking skills Accepting one’s physique Increase self-direction Achieving psychological independence	Preparing adult life Crystallize their vocational goals Establish sense of personal identity Psychologically independent from their parents

transcriber’s note: table continued from the previous page

Early Adolescence	Middle Adolescence	Late Adolescence to Early Adult Life
Developing acceptable attitudes toward society Learning to get along with peers	Achieving mature relations with both sexes Achieving a masculine or feminine social role Achieving emotional independence of adults Establish psychological independence from one’s parents Acquiring values and an ethical system to guide behavior Desiring and achieving socially responsible behavior Preparing for adult roles and making preliminary decisions and vocational goals	Shift to adulthood is nearly complete Preparing for marriage and family life Preparing for an economic career
