The time of Adolescence is a period when a young individual transforms into an adults and develop his identity apart from his family and adolescents who are stressed out both physically and mentally tend to show some common visible behaviour, which is marked by anxiety, mood swings and manifestation of anger etc.
So in their hour of crisis the adolescents need support as well as correct information over the issues, which worry them. So it is essential for teachers like you to understand the behaviour pattern of adolescents as well as realise your important role in guiding the youth for the development of a healthy society.
As teachers you will also have an opportunity to interact with the parents who are also worried due to the behaviour of their children. It will be your responsibility to guide and counsel such parents.
They have to be told that it is the normal process of children growing up and it is their duty to understand their children and help them in these crucial years so that they can mature into healthy adults.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Adolescents have a risk taking tendency and they tend to experiment with new things. In such circumstances and with peer pressure they tend to commit such mistakes which may lead them into addiction, drug abuse and even sexual relationship.
As a teacher you are required to inculcate healthy life skills in your students so that they are able to integrate them in their behaviour and mature as responsible members of the society.
