Identity development

Explanation:

According to Erikson, identity development is the principal issue of adolescent emotional development. Adolescents need to look at their different roles and ultimately determine their own identity.

It's about how we describe ourselves. Self-identity is at the base of the self-esteem. During puberty, among other social environments, the way we perceive ourselves shifts during response to friends, family and education. The definitions of belonging form our self-identities.
