adolescent alienation

Adolescent alienation refers to a sense of emotional or social disconnection that teenagers often experience from family, peers, or society. It can arise from struggles with identity, independence, or feeling misunderstood. During this stage, teens may feel isolated, misunderstood, or not valued, which can impact their mental well-being and development. This phenomenon is part of normal developmental processes but can become problematic if it leads to chronic loneliness or disengagement. Addressing adolescent alienation involves fostering open communication, understanding, and support to help teenagers navigate this critical period more healthily.
