Answer:

He is identity forclosed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because identity forclosed means to blindly accpet the identity given to you and taught values based on family and childhood. "Identity foreclosure is a stage of self-identity discovery in which an individual has an identity but hasn't explored other options or ideas. Most common in young adolescents, in this stage the individual has just adopted the traits and qualities of parents and friends."
