What is adolescence…

 What is "adolescence"?
 Adolescence is a phase of maturation: it is a transitional period of physical and
psychological human development between childhood and adulthood, the cultural purpose
of which involves preparation to assume adult roles. Classically, adolescence occurs from
12 to 22-25 years old.

 Biologically, adolescence is marked by the onset of puberty and the termination of physical
growth with changes in the sex organs and characteristics including height, weight, and
muscle mass, as well as a time for major changes in brain growth and maturation.

 Cognitively, adolescence is characterized by improvement in abstract thinking, in

knowledge and in logical reasoning.

 Socially, adolescence is a period of preparation for culturally adequate social adult roles
such as being as worker or a romantic partner. It is such a dramatic "changing" phase that
statements to describe this period include an "identity crisis", "normal to be abnormal", "a
normative psychosis", etc.

 ALBANIAN TEENAGERS’ PROBLEMS

ALBANIAN TEENAGERS ARE INCREASINGLY SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF

FAMILY PROBLEMS. 
THIS IS THE CONCLUSION THAT COMES FROM PSYCHOLOGISTS WHO DEAL WITH
THEIR TREATMENT IN THE SCHOOL PREMISES.  THEY SAY THAT THE AGE
SUFFERING FROM PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS DIFFERS FROM PUPILS OF
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO THE 18 YEAR-OLDS. 

THE LATTER, IN THIS PERIOD OF AGE, HAVE LARGE DOSES OF ANXIETY AND
GRADUATION EXAMS. 
"THE PROBLEMS ARE DIFFERENT, STARTING WITH FAMILY PROBLEMS, INCLUDING
PARENTS, RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEERS, AT SCHOOL, TEACHERS, WITH WHOM THEY
CAN ALSO HAVE CONFLICTS ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL MARKS, AND ACADEMIC
MOTIVATION. MEANWHILE, PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED IN THE CASE OF
GRADUATES WHO EXPERIENCE STRESS AND ANXIETY RELATED WITH GRADUATION
EXAMS," SAID EDLIRA LUZI, PSYCHOLOGIST AT "QEMAL STAFA" HIGH SCHOOL.
But the concerns of young Albanians, in particular of those in
high schools, go hand in hand with severe forms of depression.
"Such cases have increased," psychologists say, while adding
that many of the young receive necessary psychological
sessions, and there are also cases where they are sent to
specialized centres.
"Since the age of adolescents is still very delicate and several
abilities to deal with problems are not yet created and they
suffer emotional collapse and they can normally be affected to a
large extent from depression. I have had many such cases and I
have referred them to specialized centers, while their parents
have also been informed. Ther5e is a resistance. Sometimes I
take in my office pupils against their will, when I see that there
are problems that need intervention," said Sonila Proni, "Sinan
Tafaj" high school psychologist. But regardless of the fact that
in recent years the number of psychologists in schools has
increased, teenagers still see their offices as a taboo, and they
find difficulties in sharing their problems with them. 

Often the lack of treatment at the due time and in a proper way
has led to severe psychological condition which in many cases
has degraded in violent incidents within the school premises,
among youngsters

TEENS AND TECHNOLOGY
 Many of today's teens (including Albanian teens) spend much of their
time with their faces buried in a computer monitor or smart phone.
Moms and dads who would prefer that their teens’ faces were buried in
books might suspect the cause of this phenomenon is technology
addiction. However, parents need to understand the specific symptoms
of technology addiction before making a judgment.
 Enjoying technology on a frequent basis does not necessarily mean
your teen is addicted to technology. According to Young, less than 5
percent of teens suffer from a technology addiction. Many of the signs
of addiction are behavioral. For example, compulsions to use
technology in favor of rare and exciting life events, such as parties or
vacations, might signify addiction. In addition, attitude changes in your
teen might be cause for alarm; sudden depression, loss of self-esteem,
and problems paying attention are symptoms of Internet addiction
