Adolescence

Adolescence is the critical stage of human physical and phychological development towrds adulthood. Generally it is a period after childhood and before adulthood. It is critical because this stage is characterized by fast paced growth and change in which there are some changes and development in biological process of the body in adolescence. Many adolescents face pressure to use alcohol, cigarettes, or other drugs and initiate sexual relationships putting themselves at high risk for international and unintentional injuries, unintended pregnancies and sexual transmitted infections including the human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Many also experience a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. Behaviour patterns that are established during this period such as the use or avoidance of drugs and taking abstaining from sexual risk can have long lasting negative and positive effects on future health and well being. As a result adults have unique opportunities to influence adolescents whereas they are unable to understand these matters at this stage. Naturally families, communities, schools, health services and their workplaces should come up to make them understand and help them make a successful entrance from childhood to adulthood. In this regard parents should be more Co-operative to care of their children.
