Stress and tension accompany the transition from infancy to adulthood. It involves fast physiological and psychological maturity.

Physiological, emotional, and sociocultural aspects of teenagers must be addressed. The bigger requirement is to teach teenagers life skills to handle obstacles and demands. Life skills grow dynamically throughout time. One needs numerous talents to handle any event in life every day. Due to their physical and intellectual abilities, adolescents are productive society members. Most teenagers are unable to maximise their potential owing to improper environments.
