Abstract:
“Just as a bud requires adequate nourishment and watering to bloom in to a beautiful flower, an adolescent also requires adequate physical, mental and emotional support and nourishment to develop into a healthy and responsible adult”. Adolescence, needless to say, is the most beautiful, wonderful and yet ‘dangerous’ period in an individual’s life. Stanley Hall (1904), came up with the term 'storm and stress' to describe adolescence in 1904. He referred to an adolescent's decreased level of self-control as the 'storm' and their increased sensitivity as the 'stress'. The present research article focusses on the Stress relating coping strategies which will help the adolescents to cope of with stress actively.
