Adolescence represents the conflict between ideal and actual values,from a moral, social, and educational vantage point leading to an outline, structure, organisation, and hierarchy of their values in relation to the socio-cultural value-system.Identity means being the same from one moment to another, from one day to another. Teenagers are looking at this period to strengthen an identity from a personal, vocational, and spiritual perspective and even to identify themselves with a professional role. It is well-known that adolescents attempt to stand out by means of behaviour, attitudes, and especially by appearance, and style. They try to play various roles without engaging into any of them in a committed manner. This is the stage in which a frequent query is raised: "Whom am I?" What is more, teenagers display an unwished conflict by means of the internal conflict they undergo per se: "Should I have the initiative to do a certain thing?" On the one hand, they wish to engage in a particular action, but on the other hand, they are inhibited by their parents and teachers whose roles are to direct and limit their every single enterprise. To sum up, they would like to play an active part, but they are deterred by too much responsibility. The research we have carried out targets students with age ranges between 18 and 25, which is the stage of late adolescence.
