Summary
The examination of adolescence is one of the most important criteria by which we measure community progress and development. Adolescence today is totally different from yesterday's world. Parents and teachers should have different approaches to the adolescents and their problems (Mujahid , 2007). Adolescence indicates a longer period of time, and not just an ephemeral casual phase in human life. It is a transitional period from childhood to manhood (Mohamad, 2006). It is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood with unique characteristics (Rifai, 2014), forming more mature relationships of the same age level, achieving emotional independence of parents, and developing cognitive brainpower and problem-solving skills (Al-Bataishi,2009 )
