desires.

He questions the things that were taught to him by his parents and
teachers.
He searches for his own identity.

He feels misunderstood, unwanted, ALONE.

In effect
He seeks out his fellow adolescents for understanding and
acceptance. He groups himself with his barkadabecause they
happen to have the same likes and dislikes as he.
* However, LONELINESS is still possible even if one is
immersed in the crowd. In an attempt to conform to the group and
hide ones individuality, his loneliness eventually expresses itself as an
experience of BOREDOM.

And so, to overcome hisBOREDOM and LONELINESS
He many times resorts to any activities which provide him
heightened sensations (e.g. drinking and taking illegal drugs). These
offer him temporary escape from reality.
He keeps himself busy with creative activities which again
temporarily divert ones attention from oneself. However, he will just
tire himself out.

ultimate answer
to LONELINESS
The answer to the problem of loneliness is the reaching out to the
other person as an other. Love is the answer to the problem of
loneliness because it is only in love that he finds at-onement and still
remain himself.

Love unites him with others, love makes him overcome the sense
of isolation and separateness, yet, it permits him to be himself, to
retain his integrity.
In love, two beings become ONE, and yet, remain TWO.
