Answer:

Identity foreclosure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is common in young adolescents. Most of them still live with their parents or guardians who influence their decisions most of the time. They usually adopt the traits and qualities of parents and friends.

Identity foreclosure is however a stage in which they discover their self-identity. These adolescents already have an identity but are yet to explore other options or ideas.
