Kate Identity vs. Confusion
During the time of high school there is the broad question of who am I? A specific time during church they were proclaiming that you have to choose the relationship with God for yourself.

Kate Intimacy vs. Isolation
The crisis of intimacy vs. isolation is really the idea of choosing to be in a relationship or to stay by yourself. In my personal life I was in a committed relationship, but I was also moving 50 hours away from that person to a new school. I was struggling with the idea to stay with this person (intimacy) or to focus all my energy on myself and the drastic changes my life would go through (isolation).
