Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to maturity, and it is also the time when psychological problems are most likely to occur. So what are the common psychological problems of teenagers? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction, hoping to help you.
Psychological problems of adolescents:
- Sexual annoyance and sexual confusion
Annoyance is caused by the contradiction between adolescents’ physiological needs and social behavioral norms after the awakening of sexual consciousness. The origin of sexual confusion is that adolescents have a magical sense of their own sexual development and sexual maturation physiological changes and explore psychology. Due to the constraints of social ethics and the mystification of sex education, it often leads to psychological conflicts among adolescents. They often think that “sex is bad”, “it is shameful to have sexual fantasies about elders of the opposite sex”, “masturbation is harmful to the body”, etc., and they have negative evaluations of sex and excessive sexual repression. Boys’ misunderstanding of masturbation, nocturnal emission, and sexual dreams, girls’ negative cognition and evaluation of menstruation, sexual fantasies, and their own body image, peeking at pornographic videos, puppy love and premature sexual behavior, etc., are the more prominent psychological behaviors in adolescence question. Changing the attitude towards sex should be an important part of the psychological cultivation of life. To purify the social atmosphere, the school actively carries out mental health education (including sexual psychology education), organizes various activities beneficial to the mental health of middle school students, cultivates noble sentiments and parents change traditional concepts, and gives children healthy sex education at an early stage, etc. It is very important to the healthy development of middle school students’ sexual and mental health. If necessary, they should receive professional psychological counseling, so as not to delay children.
- Interpersonal stress
With the increase of age and the enhancement of independence consciousness, adolescents have more and more extensive exchanges with society, and their desire for independence has become increasingly strong. Social communication and the development of close partnership are a spiritual need of adolescents. Young people who are troubled by interpersonal stress usually show low self-esteem, excessive attention to other people’s evaluation, easy to be hurt, strong vanity, fear of losing face, etc.
- Study pressure
For many teenagers, the only task is to read. Middle school students are overburdened with study, which often brings them heavy psychological pressure. It is not uncommon for teenagers to fall into pain because of study pressure. Among them, there are many students with excellent grades in key schools. Their ideological pressure often comes from their dissatisfaction with their current learning situation and inappropriate comparisons. The whole school is in an atmosphere of comparison, and it is not easy for students to truly give up comparison and accept themselves.
Test anxiety, weariness, inability to concentrate during learning, and poor memory are common problems that teenagers and parents come to consult. These situations are more concentrated and prominent at the end of the term, mid-term, high school, college entrance examination, and major changes in the surrounding environment (such as sudden changes in parental relationships).
The above are the common adolescent psychological problems summarized by Xiaobian for everyone. At this time, parents must do a good job in guiding their children’s psychological problems, otherwise it will seriously affect the children’s healthy development and growth.
