- Adolescence is always an unsettling time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life.
- Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejection and can lead to deep disappointment. When things go wrong at school or at home, teens often overreact.
