Abstract

The word adolescences come from the Latin word “Adolescence” which means ‘to grow’. So, the essence of the word adolescence is growth and it is in this sense that adolescence represents a period of intensive growth and change in nearly all aspects of a child’s physical, mental, social and emotional life. Adolescence has been described by Stanely Hall as the ‘period of storm and stress of human life’. It is a very crucial period of one’s life which covers roughly from 12-18/19+ years.
