Answer: foreclosure.

Explanation:

In the stage of identity foreclosure, the individual goes through a self-identity discovery to explore different options or beliefs.

Most young teenagers first develop an identity based on the characteristics and features of family and friends, and they need to grow their own identity by examining other options, like as Abigail in this example.
