Navigating adolescence presents its challenges.
"Do I stand alone in feeling like this? I'm still young, yet everyone anticipates me to handle life as an adult."

Uncertainty pervades this stage. Amidst the physical and psychological changes of growing up, those around you evolve too. Coping can be daunting as you confront various life aspects:

- School
- Family dynamics
- Friendships
- Romantic relationships
- Exploring your sexuality
- Battling bullying
- Navigating substance use
- Resisting peer pressure
- Navigating the complexities of social media
- Balancing extracurricular activities, including work
- Wrestling with identity issues
- Struggling with body image concerns
- Enduring career path decisions and life transitions (like illness, relocation, etc.)

Many teenagers grapple with loneliness, stress, hopelessness, anger, depression, and anxiety. Some resort to self-harm, lash out at others, or contemplate suicide. Others may turn to drugs or alcohol for solace.
