The adolescent (or teenage) period is from the age of thirteen to nineteen.

Adolescents have the maximum physical development and most important physiological changes and they are nervous and unsteady for these. We can see an appreciable intelligence, thinking power, logical reasoning, understanding the environment and an ability to understand the feelings of others. The adolescent is rich in memory, perceiving things, concept formation, association, generalization, imagination and decision making. He becomes satisfied in approval and recognition of his views of many things. This is a period of joy and happiness and does not want to miss what he aspires. There is no emotional stability in general. He feels himself very much in the group and wants to shine. The eagerness for opposite sex begins.

Problems:

1) Emotional development is unstable. Personal pride makes the individual emotionally bad.

2) The adolescent is much worried about the appearance with modern life style at any cost.

3 The teenager hates be controlled. He seeks his identity to himself.

4) Teenagers don't want to depend economically from parents

5) The most difficult problem is related to social adjustment outside the family and to peer group.

Adolescents are seen to be reluctant to have with them any rule of study habits.
