Factors Influencing Adolescent Mental Health Especially in Terms of Self-Esteem and the Impact of Peer Pressure

Abstract

About sixteen per cent of people are teenagers. Teenage years are a time of significant personal growth. Due to the rapid emotional, physical, and social shifts that take place during this period, adolescents are particularly prone to mental health problems. The protection of adolescents and young adults from risk factors, the creation of appropriate coping strategies, and the accessibility of psychological services are all necessary for the mental health of both adults and teenagers. In spite of the fact that these problems frequently get overlooked or treated incorrectly, it is estimated that 1 in 7 ( fourteen percent ) adolescents between their ages of ten and nineteen have mental health conditions globally. Adolescents with mental health issues are disproportionately affected by human rights violations, stigma and discrimination (which may reduce their desire to seek help), academic difficulties, hazardous conduct, and physical disease.
