many challenges they have to face. For example, physical changes, school matters,
friendships, examinations and others. If a family is problematic, the teenager will not be
able to get enough support from his family. As a consequence, this will cause a lot of
stress on him. We can see many reality examples such as a family which the parents
are always arguing or under a divorce. These will cause the most stress to teenager.

time in school from morning to evening. For example, some students who are going to

breaks up, the teenager will be not emotionally balance and thus they cannot focus on
their studies. However, teenagers cannot avoid from the relationship as all of us have to
