Adolescence- problems related to it and how we can cope with it?
Problems faced by adolescents
- They usually do not feel comfortable in the family or parties, because their thought and likes usually do not match with the other people, neither with the children nor with the adults.
- Due to hormonal changes they get problems such as pimples.
- Adolescents usually start feeling insecure. Insecurity in adolescents arises sometimes because they are not able to cope up with the pressure to high performance.
- 3. Adolescents start taking drugs because of mental pressure. Once they are addicted to some drugs it would be very hard for them to leave it and they would not be able to lead a healthy life.
Management of problems
- Avoid peer pressure − Understand the unique personality and capabilities of a child

Education and counseling − A child must be taught to accept success and failure equally. Especially during adolescence, he must be inclined towards constructive activities such as music, yoga, sports, reading based on his interest.

-
Identifying danger signals − If any sign of symptom of alcohol / drug abuse is seen in the adolescent by family or friends, then it should not be ignored because prevention is better than cure.
