Section 08



Adolescence is in the period time between childhood and adulthood . It is in years between onset of puberty and assumption of adult responsibilities . Adolescence are happen in 13 until 18 years old . It may be can extended . There was three development tasks . One of the tasks is individuation . It develop personal identity . For example , we will be become own unique person that were not parents child . Seconds is  separation . We will learn to think by ourselves , without adult influence . Autonomy is one of three development tasks . It's right to self-govern . For example , the adolescence are the beginning to challenge parental values .  it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescences , particularly in females . Physical growth, as distinct from puberty  and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence.





A thorough understanding of adolescence in society depends on information from various perspectives, including physyology, biology,history, sociology, education, and anthropology. Within all of these perspectives, adolescence is viewed as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood, whose cultural purpose is the preparation of children for adult roles. It is a period of multiple transitions involving education , training, employment and unemployment, as well as transitions from one living circumstance to another.
The end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood varies by country and by function, and furthermore even within a single nation state or culture there can be different ages at which an individual is considered mature enough for society to entrust them with certain privileges and responsibilities. Such milestones include driving a vehicle, having legal sexual relations, serving in the armed forces or on a jury, purchasing and drinking alcohol, voting, entering into contracts, finishing certain levels of education, and marriage. Adolescence is usually accompanied by an increased independence allowed by the parents or legal guardians and less supervision as compared to preadolescences.
