Correct Answer - Option 3 : tolerance

Adolescence is a phase of the life of a person when he is no more a child and not yet an adult. Life is full of tremendous energy. The curiosity and experimentation at one time pave the path to success and at other, may cause uncertainty. This is a critical time in life because the experiences, knowledge, and skills acquired in adolescence have important implications in adulthood.

Early Adolescence (12-14 years)

Early adolescence is a contradictory phase. It is a phase when the child is not yet mature and at the same time, she is no longer a child. They insist that they have grown up enough to be independent, while parents do not provide them much freedom.

  • This is the time the youngster finds the drastic physical changes as a source of irritation. Some who are physically not well grown feel somewhat inferior to others.
  • There is a fear that they may remain short and small and become the target of ridicule of the peers.
  • There is a lot of confusion, hesitation, and a search for one’s own real identity. This arises because though physically they look like an adult, mentally they are still children.
  • Parents and elders treat them at one time as a grown-up and at another time as a child. This causes problems in identity – as to ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What am I?’ etc.
  • Adolescence is the time when all of a sudden the world starts looking different. The youngster faces considerable competition.
  • The sheer innocence of friendship is lost.
  • Several new kinds of fantasies beyond the fun fantasy of Tom and Jerry start taking a toll on the mind of the youngster.
  • This is the time when the individual needs to understand parents.
  • This is the time in their life when they start thinking about their future.
