Adolescents and Youth

Adolescents and youth refer to the developmental stages between childhood and adulthood, typically covering ages 10 to 24. This period is marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes, including the onset of puberty and the quest for identity. Adolescents often face challenges such as peer pressure, mental health issues, and educational demands. Youth represent a time of exploration and growth, where individuals begin to establish their own values, make decisions about their future, and engage with the world around them. Understanding these stages is crucial for supporting their development and well-being.
