All people between the age of 12 to 19 years are considered as adolescence. Adolescence actually is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development generally occurring between puberty and legal adulthood but largely characterized as beginning and ending of the teenage stage. It is a period of physical and mental development in youths.
Facial hairs, appearance of mustache and ejaculation in males and menstruation in case of women indicate adolescence. During this period the adolescence are engaged in various ill activities like smoking, consumption of alcohol and drugs which directly or indirectly affect their good relations with their parents or other friends. Adolescence also find pleasure in sexual activities and due to inadequate knowledge of proper sex they entangle in the web of sexual disease and their consequences. During this period the adolescence are pan-sophist i.e. they think that they know everything and do not care about their parents advice and words.
It is the foremost duty of the parents to save their children during this period. Awareness among the people is efficient enough to help the adolescence to select the right path. It is generally at this age, they need to be taken care of properly because this is the age of shaping a person and the children should also be very careful in this stage of life.
