Children, adolescents and youth today face many social and cultural problems. For some youth, pressures include poverty, violence, parental problems, and gangs. Adolescents may also be concerned about significant issues such as religion, gender roles, values, or ethnicity. Some children are having difficulty dealing with past traumas they have experienced, like abuse. Parents and their teenagers are struggling between the youth’s wanting independence while still needing parental guidance. These conflicts may result in behavioral problems in children and adolescents. Behavioral issues in adolescents can have serious consequences for the adolescents. A sizeable population of our adolescents needs support in coping with emotional and behavioural problems. Though many children of families with problems may be normal, knowledge of the family environment and problems in the adolescents identifies the adolescent-family dyad that may need attention. It indicates towards the need for a multi-prolonged intervention to prevent these problems in adolescents. Keywords: Adolescence; Behavioural Problems; Disruptive; Peer Influence; Aggression.
