Abstract

Adolescence is the period in life just before maturity; it is the transition from childhood to adulthood. This transition is quite often very difficult one as the child adjusts, and has to come to terms with the responsibilities that they face as they progress in life. This essay will look at peer pressure and the other causes of stress, along with the implications of poor diet. It will consider the consequences of relationships and sexual activity, boredom, drug use and depression, and how much social and economical aspects play a part in their well being.

One of the biggest pressures faced by adolescents today is the one from their own contemporaries. Peer pressure plays a huge part in any teenagers' life and being accepted, and having the approval of friends is very important. This can be anything from listening to the right music to wearing the right jeans. Peer pressure is not always negative; sometimes the adolescent will strive to do well in certain sports or activities to gain the respect from their friends. (Witmer, D 2004)
