Answer 2

Biologically, it indeed has something to do with hormones, but as far as it goes in the psychological field or in my case what i learned from development class, this state of being a teenager is the time where the person is in search of his/her identity. I learned of 4 different ideas that the teens are probably having at this age.

- Adolescent egocentrism - idea that adolescents are very self absorbed and they are the center of the world

- Imaginary audience = they feel like they are always being watched and the spotlights on them so they have to always be at their best, the need to look tough or flawless for some, or they act out when they don't get what they want or they get acne, etc.

- Personal Fable - Concept that things that are happening in their lives are unique. Basically this is the reason why people tend to say to friends or others this statement "You don't know what's it like" or"you can never understand me" may it be from break ups, grieving, problems, etc

- Illusion of invulnerability - Idea that misfortune only happens to others. Basically they think they can do anything dangerous and get out unscathed or do something bad to others because they think they can get away with it.

Answer 3

The adolescent feels the need for independence from its parents and parental authority. One manifestation of this is being contrary. This entails resisting orders, demeaning observations and generally trying to establish that one is one's own person by defining others as "uncool" (or whatever the current put-down is).

As for corrective actions, there are just two: exhausting repression and time. As the woman said when she gave the beggar a prune, "This too shall pass."

Answer 4

because they think they know better and when someone else can't do what they want, they get frustrated.
