Erikson's theory talks about the tough challenges that teenagers go through, especially during a time called "Identity vs. Role Confusion."

During this stage, teens face serious issues like:

• Finding Their Identity: They ask questions like "Who am I?" This can be confusing and make them feel insecure.
• Peer Pressure: Wanting to fit in can lead them to take risks and make poor choices.
• Emotional Ups and Downs: Changes in hormones can cause mood swings and inner conflicts.

These challenges can feel really heavy and might lead to anxiety and low self-esteem. But there are ways to help:

• Supportive Relationships: Family and friends can offer guidance and encouragement.
• Open Communication: Talking about feelings can help clear up confusion and make them feel like they belong.
• Professional Help: Therapists can help teens work through these tough emotions.

By getting this support, teens can overcome their struggles with identity.
