Abstract
One definition of identity is who you are, what you do, and how you respond to the world around you. One develops this sense of self, an identity, during adolescence. Many contributing factors and variables affect this process to mold how an individual views him or herself. In addition to elements of the nurturing environment, inherent components also shape a person's identity and the stages they go through to develop it. This paper discusses several factors contributing to the psychosocial development of Black teenagers including which stage many Black teens may be identifying with, and why teen-inspired opposition movements may be at a virtual halt. Kids these days... It's just teenage angst... Ah to be young again... These are frequently heard declarations in U.S. society referring to the teenage demographic.
