Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, grade: 1.4, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: This paper will provide a comprehensive discussion on some of the tensions that young people face during transition from adolescence to adulthood. Transition from adolescence to adulthood places adolescents in distinct stages; young and adult, with diverse experiences and responsibilities, at the same time create a timely storm. In some circumstances, adolescents experience immense dilemma during this transition owing to their anticipation of the stage mixed with experiences of the lost stage. In addition, this transition involves loss of adolescent status and transformation into adulthood status. As such, they are required to undergo transient psychosocial readjustment, in order to experience a successful transition. Despite the relevance of these changes, some adolescents do not undergo a successful transition due to the challenges that emerge during the transitional period. Some of these challenges are related to the acquisition of skills, bonds within family structure, friendships, and employment system. In general, socio-cultural, labour market and demographic changes create faults in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. These tensions may lead to failure of this significant transition, and this has been identified to be costly the individual and the society.
