How good it is to see the youth involved in meaningful activities like serving the Church!


As an individual reaches the late phase of his childhood, he or she now enters a new and more challenging milestone in his life- being an adolescent. In this stage, an individual is expected to grow more maturely, not only physically but also psychosocially. And meeting such expectation is a must, for this has something to do with achieving a more stable life once an individual reaches adulthood.


The above concept is well-described by Kaplan and Sadok (1998) in their definition of adolescence. According to them, adolescence is characterized by profound biological, psychological, and social developmental changes. Being profound would mean that naturally, rapid acceleration of growth has to take place. And psychosocially, there also has to be significant advancement in cognitive and personality formation.

A good, stable family, is what assists the adolescent along his pathway. It is not easy.
