Adolescence is the process of “becoming a subject again” in the face of a “new object.” And it is the body that initiates the process of becoming a subject again in adolescence. It will be necessary to find what remains constant amid change and then re-establish it permanently in one's personal history. In this way, the adolescent will be able to add new pages to the permanently existing foundation, thereby reconstructing their subjectivity. Throughout this process, passivity, which lies at the very root, will be recognized once again. Accepting passivity will open the way for the adolescent to become active and to become a subject. This path is also the path to freedom and originality.
