Who I Am: Understanding Identity and Adolescent Transition Challenges.

Who I Am: Understanding Identity and Adolescent Transition Challenges By Breakthrough Counseling & Training Centre Ruiru Town and Counselor Samuel Mburu ( Nairobi).
Adolescence is one of the most important seasons of growth in a young person’s life. It’s a time filled with questions, emotions, and a desire to belong. For many teens, it’s the first time they truly begin to ask: “Who am I?”

At Breakthrough Counseling, we often meet young people who feel lost in this process. They’re navigating school, family expectations, social media pressure, and internal battles—yet struggling to understand their sense of identity. This is what psychologist Erik Erikson called the Identity vs Role Confusion stage. And it’s normal.

But it doesn’t have to be confusing.
Understanding Identity and Self-Concept
Identity is more than your name, background, or social media profile. It’s how you see yourself and how you want to be seen. Your self-concept is the internal image you carry: your beliefs about your abilities, your worth, and your future.
A healthy self-concept builds:
Confidence
Resilience
Decision-making skills
But a confused or negative self-concept can lead to:
Anxiety and stress
People-pleasing or rebellion
Emotional withdrawal or isolation
Low self esteem
Le****ns/ gay issues in school
That’s why intentional self-awareness is key.
The Role of Values in Identity
One of the most powerful tools we teach teens at Breakthrough is values clarification. When a young person understands what truly matters to them—like honesty, creativity, faith, or family—they begin to live with direction.
Clarifying values helps teens:
Make decisions they’re proud of
Say no to peer pressure
Build a life rooted in purpose
How Breakthrough Can Help
We’ve designed a 3-session adolescent self-awareness program just for this stage of life. Through guided conversations, journaling, and interactive activities, teens learn to:
Define their identity
Challenge negative thinking
Discover their personal values
Develop a vision for their future
Final Thoughts
Becoming who you are is a journey—not a race. At Breakthrough, we walk with adolescents as they explore their strengths, face their doubts, and grow into the person they were created to be.

If you’re a parent, teacher, or teen looking for support, we’re here to help.
