From this age period we learn who is inferior to us and who isnt. This is a common age to develope deep relationships, loose relationships, and understand how who we want in our lives. During this period, I left home, age 15, to live with other relatives besides my parents. I also learned to know who was my real friend and wasn't. I learned what I wanted to do with my life and how I was going to get there.

This is the stage in life where we put plans to action. Also know as intamcy and isolation. We either get married or stay single. We commit to a long term job, or not. We either pursue further education or not. I would hope to be committed to occupation and start thinking about what my 30's will look like. -
Generational vs. stagnation. This is where we decide to nurture and continue our life.. or possibly start over and relize that we where not living our life to our fullest before. This could be benefical, improve yourself, or it could be detrimental and cause internal family problems or those around us concern. I by this time, will hopefully have a full career started and be supporting my family to the best of my ability while also raising kids or an extensive amount of cats. -
This is when the common mid life crisis happens. This could be because of rushing in to life too fast and following a cookie cutter life. I hope to be happy with my life at this point, most likely raising my kids into yearly adult hood or possibly adopting even more cats. -
integrity vs. despair. We are now old. And after retiring and not yet suscombing to death, we continue on. Either I will be happily old, with my husband, sitting in a rocking chair on our front porch watching the western sun go down, or I will be feeding all my cats dinner and then welcome a glass or wine at the end of the night. I think that I will not regret my life. And be willing to provide volunteer work and continue integrity through out my life instead of despair and regret.
