A STUDY ON THE LIFE OF ADOLESCENCE IN THE PRESENT DAY SCENARIO

The first sentence that comes to the investigator whenever she thinks about adolescent is - it is a time of “storm and stress”. Very few may not face the changes. But a majority of the teenagers have to face a lot of psychological, sociological and physical challenges. Of these some may be real and some may be imaginary. Religious teachings, friends, brothers and sisters, relatives, financial problems all these can be the causes for the hassles. Bossing friends, parent’s absence and lack of time, loneliness, lack of good friends etc. can become very taxing in a teenager’s life. The absence of people at home due to the breaking up of joint family system, the women’s job outside the local area are all new and unexpected challenges a young girl or boy has to confront and tackle successfully. The researcher would like to make a study about reasons for the present day challenges of teenagers and give suggestions for creating a healthy environment for the maximum development of a teenager in the 21st century
