Adolescents constitute the largest age group in the globe during a unique stage of life known as the transition between childhood and maturity. New perspectives are being offered by longitudinal studies and precise assessments of teen activities in both developed and developing nations. Physical and sociological changes throughout puberty cause inherited difficulties from earlier ages to manifest in human disparities in maturity, academic success, self-confidence, peer pressure, and familial proximity. Therefore, hazards to parents’ health and well-being are anticipated. To advance understanding at that point, multidisciplinary techniques were required. In particular, biological-social science, socio-economic and cultural heterogeneity, and drivers of positive results were important. During the period of puberty, depression, anxiety, and eating problems are particularly prevalent. Adolescents with anxiety or mood disorders may suffer from physical symptoms such as exhaustion or chronic fatigue, dizziness, headache and pain in the abdomen or arms. The five main features of puberty are biological growth and development, an unclear status, increased decision-making, increased anxiety, and self-search. Adolescence is a lifetime with specific needs and rights relating to health and development. It is also a time to develop awareness and skills, learn to control feelings and relationships, and gain qualities and skills that would be necessary for teenage years to be experienced and adult positions to take on.
