Youth and adolescents

Youth and adolescents refer to the period of development between childhood and adulthood, typically ages 10 to 24. This stage is marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes, as individuals begin to form their identities, develop independence, and establish relationships. Adolescents often face challenges such as peer pressure, mental health issues, and academic demands. This period is crucial for acquiring skills, values, and experiences that shape future adulthood, making support from families, schools, and communities vital for their healthy development and well-being.
