The adolescent who is sad or complains of aches and pains
Adolescence covers the period between 10 and 19 years of age, between childhood and adulthood.
It is a unique period for many reasons.
• Personalities mature in adolescence. Adolescents develop a clear idea about themselves, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and weaknesses.
• Their bodies change physically and they become sexually mature. This means they begin to be attracted, sexually, to others. And, of course, they become more sensitive to the attraction other people have towards them!
• This is the time when important decisions about education and career will be made. With all these great changes taking place, it is not surprising that some adolescents feel under
stress.
