8. What inner and outer conflicts arise in the transition from childhood to adulthood?
In adolescence, teens start to act differently than they did in their childhood. Some kids rebel against their parents and/or teachers. You start to lose some friends, or just realize who your real friends are. You have way more choices to make in your life each day. You have to do way more things, like spend more time with school-related things like projects and worry about high schools and which ones you're going to get into and how you're going to get into them (although not at this point; the high school process passed, yay). You start to wonder what will happen in the future. You spend too much of your conscious time at school. You'll usually become more anxious and stressed all the time because so much can be going on at once, which sometimes also creates a feeling of helplessness. You're not a child, you're not an adult, what are you? Confusion can lead to rebellion. (Many) Adults either treat you like a little kid or a grown adult.
