Answer 2

Moratorium

Step-by-step explanation:

The position in which an adolescent is currently in a crisis, exploring various commitments and is rea dy to make choices, but has not made a commitment to these choices yet. It represents high degree of exploration but a low degree of commitment. At this status, youth are in the midst of an identity "crisis" which has prompted them to explore and experiment with different values, beliefs, and goals. However, they have not made any final decisions about which beliefs and values are most important to them, and which principles should guide their lives. Thus, they are not yet committed to a particular identity. They are keeping their options open. Such is the case of Rasheed experiencing the crisis of not meeting up with the grade point average for entrance to pre med promram. As a result, he is considering exploring his options by attempting to changing his major to education but he has not made his final decision yet.
