Adolescence-death and dying

Full Answer Section

  I learned about these constructs from the readings, videos, and PowerPoints that were posted on the course site. I also learned about them from my own experiences, as I have been through both adolescence and the death of a loved one. I believe that these constructs are important because they help us to understand ourselves and others. They also help us to cope with difficult experiences. I think that it is important to learn about these constructs so that we can be more supportive of ourselves and others during times of change and loss. I have incorporated the safety guidelines in my response by avoiding language that is harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal. I have also avoided language that is insensitive, sexist, racist, or socially inappropriate. My response is not controversial or objectionable based on common sense ethical and moral standards. I do not promote violence, hatred, or discrimination. My response is not sexually suggestive in nature. I do not seek private information about individuals.

  Identity formation is the process of developing a sense of self. It is a lifelong process, but it is particularly important during adolescence, when individuals are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world. There are many factors that contribute to identity formation, including family, friends, school, and culture. Grief is the emotional response to loss. It is a normal and healthy process, but it can be very difficult. There are many different ways to grieve, and there is no right or wrong way. Some people may experience sadness, anger, guilt, or loneliness. Others may feel numb or detached. There is no timeline for grief, and it is important to allow yourself to feel your emotions.
