Navigating the Psychological and Social Edges in School-Going Adolescents

Abstract

Adolescence is a key period in life for establishing the foundation for health and well-being in adulthood. Adolescents are inclined to face challenges in their daily affairs in both psychological and social domains. Mental health concerns among adolescents or youth in various studies show that 7.8% of mental health  problems and 13.8% of emotional and behavioral problems are among adolescents while 15% had a high risk of emotional and behavioral problems. They struggle to acknowledge the problems and fail to seek the solutions indeed. This led them to emphasize life problems. This conceptual paper aims to discuss the  challenges faced by adolescents aged between 13-17 such as academic strain, social, emotional, and personal  disputes. Youngsters tend to engage their problems more emotionally rather than looking at them logically, every problem poses and requires major policy solutions. This paper acknowledges the complication  of people in youth and also about the advantages and disadvantages of gentle parenting, and incorporates the issue from a comprehensive theoretical perspective.
