Many times in life as a young adolescent its hard for us to find who we truly are and come up with a plan for the future. I have known many of my friends who have trouble finding themselves and rely on their parent's ideas to what they should do in their future. According to Marcia's Four Identity Statuses, that explains the statuses that can occur to the individual when the individual's future is determined by someone else. However, Piaget sees a different point of view and says that most young adolescents don't search for alternative identities and therefore moratorium becomes more common (Kail & Cavanaugh). One of my friends comes from a family where they are all in the medical field but she wants to become a technical analysis agent.
