Adolescence brings a range of challenges for young people as they navigate the journey of growing up.
Things like significant changes in their bodies, blemishes on their skin, relationships, managing the big emotions when there is discomfort or distress, working through their identity, where do they fit in their world, what makes them special, as well as all the normal worldly worries; climate change, protecting the environment, equality, violence and war, and finding kindness. Their world is full and busy, and friendships are crucial during these formative social years.
Common struggles adolescents face in their daily lives consist of judgement, their fear of being wrong, criticism, their sense of not being enough in comparison to their peers or their future selves.
