Problems of Adolescents : Owing to various

changes, children of this age group face many
problems; indeed, it is very delicate period of their
life. The major problems, which adolescents face,
are given below :
(i) Physical Problems: During adolescence, many
bodily or physical changes take place. Menstruation
and nightfall become a phenomenon for girls and
boys respectively. Development of sex glands takes
place. Due to these changes, adolescents feel
restless and worried.
(ii) Mental Problems : During this age, stress, tension
and strife are common. These traits create many
mental problems. An adolescent faces many
problems such as difficulty in co-operating with
others, anxiety maladjustment, etc.
(iii) Problem of Aggressive Behaviour: In this age
group, children tend to show aggressive behaviour.
They become aggressive on small matters. They
become irritated easily. When they are asked to do
certain activity, they become repulsive. They try to
become hero.
(iv) Lack of Stability and Adjustment : An adolescent
does not remain stable and he faces adjustment
problem. His behaviour does not remain content. He
feels himself unable to adjust with other people. He
fails to co-ordinate with others. Not only outside but
he cannot adjust himself in his family. He cannot co-
operate with his family members. He feels that he is
under
pressure of his parents. He wants to have free
atmosphere at home.
(v) Emotional Problems: The life of an adolescent is
full of emotions. Under such emotions, he performs
some uphill task, which seems to be impossible in
the beginning. Rose says, "The adolescent lives
intensely emotional life, in which we can see once
more the rhythm of positive and negative phases of
behaviour in his constant alternation between intense
excitement and deep depression. " Sometimes, the
adolescent becomes so excited that he considers
himself to be at the top of the world and, sometimes,
he finds, himself in a state of depression. He feels
himself emotionally disturbed.
(vi) Problems Related to Sex : During adolescence,
children face many problems, which are related to
sex. They try to meet the opposite sex. Sometimes,
they become so eager that they do not hesitate to
leave their family. They feel restless due to their
sexual urge. Rose says, “Sex, then, is the
fundamental fact of adolescence, if not all life. Like
the overflow of Great River, it irrigates and fertilizes
great tracts of life’s territory.”
(vii) Problems of Self-support: Each and every
adolescent needs self-support. He wants to make his
own place in the society. He desires to live a fruitful
life. Rose says, “The adolescent desires to find his
place in the world. The desire is a genuine need and
refers to the need for self-support. He faces the
problems of carrier selection. He does not want to
depend upon his family members. He remains in
between dependence and independence.”
(viii) Feeling of Importance: An adolescent begins to
understand himself important. He thinks that he
should also get respect. But, sometimes, parents do
not take it seriously. They fail to understand the
feelings of adolescent. That’s why he feels himself
unimportant and it becomes a great problem.
(ix) Social Problems: It has been observed that
adolescents want to adopt their own way, but society
creates many hindrances in their paths. So,
adolescents revolt against the social customs and
traditions. Friends are very important for this age
group. They share their views, knowledge and
experience and hence, sometimes, the group acts as
the medium of spreading social vices and dis-
satisfaction. If this group gets proper guidance, it is
the best institution for developing sociability,
confidence and comprehension. These adolescents
fall prey to intoxication, i.e., alcohol, drugs and
smoking. Management of Adolescence Problems.
The following suggestions can be beneficial for the
management of problems of the adolescence:
(i) Education for Motor Development- An adolescent
should be provided the education for his motor
development. He should be encouraged to play
various games and sports. Through games and
sports, his motor development will take place
properly.
(ii) Education of Phychology- Teachers and parents
should have the basic knowledge of phychology.
They should be able to understand the mindset of an
adolescent because many problems can be solved
by an adolescent himself.
(iii) Vocational guidance- Teachers should provide
vocational guidance to the adolescents. This
guidance should be provided keeping in view their
intelligence, capabilities, aptitude and interest.
(iv) Moral and Religious Education- Moral and
Religious Education should be provided to
adolescents. Religious and moral education will give
them mental peace. Through this some problems like
indiscipline, anxiety and, worry can be tackled easily.
(v) To provide suitable environment- Adolescents
should be provided suitable environment for growth
and development. They should be provided with
proper facilities and opportunities for proper
development. They should be provided balanced
diet, should be taught how to behave and should be
provided suitable and healthy environment.
