Why do I choose this topic?

I chose this topic because adolescence is a transition period of our lives, and it is an interesting period because it is when, supposedly, we start gaining maturity and it is also an interesting period because, somehow, we have many problems.

And to start with, I wanted to say that people experience adolescence differently, while some go through it without any problems, others must deal with second lives.

Most common problems

• Depression; Bullying;
• Eating disorders; Drug and alcohol use.
• Obesity; Academic Problems;
• Peer Pressure; Friendship;
• Teenager pregnancy; Among others…

People are constantly talking about body image, bullying and friendship, Mental health, depressed mood, and suicide so I decided to talk about relationship with parents and STRESS ON ADOLESCENCE

Parent-adolescent relationship

the parent-adolescent relationship is one of the most important relationships in the life of an adolescent. differences of opinion can sometimes aggravate the conflict between adolescents and their parents, that is, parents want to protect their adolescents and therefore we feel controlled.

NORMALLY, WHEN WE REACH ADOLESCENCE, WE THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE SUPERIOR AND THAT WE HAVE CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING, AND THAT'S WHY PARENTS, BEING PARENTS, EDUCATE US AND THEREFORE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION IN THE FACE OF ANY UNPLEASANT BEHAVIOUR. THIS DESIRE THAT WE HAVE TO LEAD OFTEN LEADS TO ARGUMENTS WITH OUR PARENTS, WHICH CONSEQUENTLY CREATES A BAD ATMOSPHERE AT HOME, CAUSING A LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BOTH OF THEM, WHICH CAN LEAD TO PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS FOR BOTH.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT A SUBJECT THAT IS TALKED ABOUT MUCH WHEN IT COMES TO ADOLESCENT PROBLEMS, BUT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE STUDIED BECAUSE THIS LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN CAN LEAD TO SECONDARY CONSEQUENCES IN TERMS OF GRADES AND SOCIAL LIFE and mental health. can lead adolescents to resort to substance use mainly for stress relief and pleasure.

Stress in adolescence

Adolescence is a period of development that leads to stress and the development of emotional and behavioral problems.

To this day, adolescence is pointed out as a particularly stressful period of life, due not only to physical changes but also to life experience. And the same is because we, adolescents, usually want to try new things, like having a love relationship, when we are looking for good academic grades and even when we want to try a new slant of life. But what is stress?

In the medical context, stress is a physical, mental or emotional factor that causes mental strain.

Most teens experience more stress when they perceive a situation as dangerous, difficult, or painful and they lack the resources to cope with it. Examples of factors that can cause stress include trauma, illness, teen pregnancy, Death of a family member, Parental Divorce, or Marriage, Involvement in drugs and alcohol, Missing a full year of school.
