Adolescence: Contemporary Issues and Resources

Adolescents are defined as people age 13- 19 years old (Falkner, 2018). This is a

monumental time in one’s life. Multiple different changes are occurring creating different stress

and issues for those of this age group. From body image changes, to new relationships, from

displaying that 20-40% of teens have experienced cyberbullying during their adolescent years

(Bottino et al., 2015). This can cause social issues, depression, increased stress, behavioral
