12-STEM Personal Development

Challenges of Middle and Late

Adolescence

Middle to late adolescence ages 15-22 years of age. Between these ages, you
are experiencing and developing your personality for the new milestone in life. These
are the times where you are learning the maturity of all situations. It could help you also
to showcase your innate characteristics that you can utilize to become independent as
well as to be a better person. Teenagers are most likely the sweetest and most
memorable stage in life like those happy moments you shared to other people. But
because of these interpretations of situations, teenagers also are the most problematic.
They feel mix emotions that cause problems to them especially with the aspects of their
lives. Mostly but not all of them can't handle or control their emotions because they are
still in learning and developing how to make decisions on their own.

I’ve done some interview to those teenagers from

Mapandan National High School – Senior High School that
experience problems in different aspects of life and how they
overcome those trials in their life. According to Marriane E.
Daroy, Grade 12-ABM A student, she experienced problems in
life. In her family, she had a problem like lack of
communication and time. She gains problem also with her
friends because she is insensitive when telling a joke. In her
studies, she is struggling in managing her time, waking up late and being shy in class
discussions. Her problems with herself, she thinks she is so emotional and moody. She
overcome those problems by always open her problems to her friends to make herself
better, by motivating herself and listening to her friend’s advises and lastly by controlling
her temper and breathe deeply to calm.

According to Gemalyn G. Aquino, a Grade 12-ABM

student, she experienced also problems with her family, friends,
studies and between herself like sibling's conflict,
misunderstanding and quarrels with friends, difficulties in some
subjects, and struggling with her self-esteem. But she
overcomes it by understanding each other, giving both sides
what they want to express to resolve the conflict, clear
communication, respect and don't interrupt them if they are
speaking, study hard and she tries to embrace herself with confidence.

According to Mary Gwyneth A. Quinto, Grade 12- ABM A

student, she experienced also problems with her family, friends,
studies and between herself like
