    role confusion

    Explanation:

    This is as exemplified in Erik Erikson's theory of Psychosocial development. According to his theory, the above example is the fifth stage of the ego development and individuals between the ages of 12-18 experience this stage. He noted that each stage of development is like a conflict that the individual has to resolve to assimilate the primary virtue of that stage and this development may also be affected by relationships and social interaction.
