Childhood and youth have been considered emerging life cycle categories since modernity. Adolescence as a transitional stage between childhood and adulthood is a social moratorium scenario, which has been considered necessary to reach maturity. This process has been defined as the path of building identity and personality. However, situations, such as adolescent parenthood are facts, which often occur, and have consequences in this process of identifying the adolescent.
