Abstract
In today’s world everything is changing at a very fast pace. There comes a lot of difference between what were the conditions half a century ago. Today’s environment, living style, economic, social and political conditions are changed. It is really difficult to be in rhythm and at pace with the ever-changing and chaotic world. This type of atmosphere creates identity crisis among the human beings. Children and most especially adolescents suffered from this phenomenon at a great length. Wars, revolutions, natural disasters etc. put adolescents at risk for great harm. In the present paper an attempt has been made to discuss the development issues in early adolescences with regard to identity formation and self-esteem.
