Teenage.

Teenagers face a wide range of challenges as they navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. These challenges can vary based on individual circumstances, cultural context, and environment, but some common issues include:

1. Mental Health Issues

  • Stress and Anxiety: Due to academic pressure, family expectations, or social comparisons.

2. Academic Pressure

  • High expectations from parents, teachers, and society can lead to burnout.
  • Difficulty balancing academics with extracurricular activities.

  • Neglect or Overprotectiveness: Both extremes can negatively impact independence and confidence.

7. Health and Body Image

  • Eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia due to body dissatisfaction.
  • Obesity or poor physical health due to lack of exercise or unhealthy eating habits.

8. Substance Abuse

  • Pressure to engage in sexual activity before they are ready.
