Adolescent Problem

Fortunately, the majority of adolescents are in good physical and mental health. However, the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases in adolescence are increasing, which is most likely due to the earlier onset of obesity-related disorders, longer survival after serious childhood disorders, and other unknown factors.

Adolescents' most common problems are related to growth and development, school, childhood illnesses that continue into adolescence, mental health disorders, and the consequences of risky or illegal behavior, such as injury, legal consequences, pregnancy, infectious diseases, and substance use disorders. Unintentional injuries from car accidents and injuries from interpersonal violence are the leading causes of death and disability among adolescents.

Adolescence is a difficult time for both children and parents. At this age, the only way to deal with needs and problems is to be aware of them and prepared to face them. Parent-adolescent conflicts that cause insecurity and instability have a direct relationship with pubertal maturity. 

Understanding and positively dealing with these conflicts may help your child become more responsible and social. Here is our list of the most common problems that adolescents face, as well as their solutions.
