The dramatic changes that characterize puberty present the adolescent (an individual between puberty and adulthood, a teenager) with serious psychosocial (psychological and social) challenges. a person who has lived for 12 years has developed a certain sense of self. in adolescence, however, this knowledge of self is challenged. as has been discussed, the rather sudden bodily changes in this period are accompanied by equally dramatic changes in thoughts and feelings. thus, not all of the assumptions (beliefs taken for granted or assumed) adolescents held about the self in earlier stages may still be relevant to the new individuals they find themselves to be. because a coherent (connected) sense of self is necessary for functioning productively in society, adolescents ask a crucial psychosocial question: who am i? according to this paragraph, what often causes an individual to question her identity?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
