Identity Diffusion

Identity diffusion refers to a stage of identity development where a "tween" or teen has not yet established a firm identity. This is a time of learning, exploring, and making choices about interests and lifestyle preferences. Remember back to when you were adolescent when you were trying to find out what types of friends you wanted, the clique you aspired to, and discovering your personal interests and talents. As you aged these factors become more and more a part of your identity.
