Storm and Stress of Adolescence

Coursework Instructions:

Is the Storm and Stress of Adolescence greater than the Storm and Stress at other times in the lifespan?
Adolescence is often referred to as period of storm and stress, likened to the “terrible twos” for teens. But research into adolescent development has failed to show that this period of time is universally, one of turmoil (J. J. Arnett, Adolescent Storm and Stress, Reconsidered American Psychologist). What it is, is different; and for almost all families, it is a time of adjustment. The status of the person who for so long depended on the adults in the family unit changes as she or he must now begin the last phase, or in some cultures complete, the developmental processes of becoming an independent adult member of her or his social group.
Your total response should be at least 150-250 words, include at least one in-text citation, and should answer each one of the following questions.
NUMBER THE QUESTIONS IN YOUR POST. You do NOT have to repeat the actual question, just number your answers to the questions. It will help you to organize your writing.
*Use the course material as your main source:
Martha Lally and Suzanne Valentine-French (2017). Lifespan Development: A Psychological Perspective.
1. Is adolescence a period of "storm and stress" or not?
2. What is your evidence?
3. Where do you draw your evidence from? E.g., personal experience, information from readings or lectures?
Show evidence of thoroughly reading and listening to the course resources. This is preferable to outside research. But if you provide additional resources, they will be graded on their scholarly credibility; that means sources of questionable truth may result in a lower grade on the post and sources of good credibility may result in a higher grade.

Question One
Adolescence is the period between puberty and adulthood. It is characterized by significant changes, including physical and cognitive changes (Lally & Valentine-French, 2017). These changes happen when adolescents experience a period of intense turmoil, where they may conflict with their parents and opt for risky choices as they seek independence. The experience is described as “storm and stress.” However, not all adolescents experience the “storm and stress.” The experiences of adolescence depend on individual and cultural differences.
Question Two
Different individuals experience adolescence
