Causes and Manifestations of the Perceived Behavioral Issues of Adolescents A Case Study of Learners in Secondary Schools Islamabad

    The study aims to comprehend the adolescents' behavioral issues and their impact on their physical and emotional life. The theory of socialized anxiety and adolescents has been applied to this study which conceptually analyzes the anxiety and behavioral issues of the students. The qualitative and quantitative approach was utilized in the study and adolescent students wee the targeted sample. However, for qualitative study, the teachers and parents of the adolescents were also selected for focus group discussions. The study finds that the mood of adolescents frequently changes even in the school environment. It was also found that adolescents do not share their emotions and problems with their parents, though they prefer their teachers and friends. The study recommends that the gap between the parents and the adolescents must be reduced so that the adolescents could perform more effectively and efficiently in the school environment and their social life.
