Let’s Explore

Adolescence is a period of stress and strain. Simply put, it is a period of worry and
tension to teenagers. There are some issues or concerns that may seem to bother them at this
point of their lives.
These issues include identity crisis, sexual identity and sexual behavior, premarital sex,
teenage pregnancies, and abortion.

2
 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 one at time they will 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.
Sexual identity refers to the sexual-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.
Sexual orientation is the romantic or sexual attraction one has with another 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 the 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 family must also be aware of the sexual
activities of their teenage family members. They must know their set of friends and peers. In
this manner, they may always remind them of being responsible with their sexuality. 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 the 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 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.
