Shanlax International Journal of Education, v11 spec iss 1 p62-67 Jul 2023
There is an opinion about puberty that has some negative aspects. According to this view, he mentions that adolescence includes intense stress, pessimistic thoughts and inner turmoil. The aim of this study is to examine the methods of coping with physical and mental problems encountered in adolescence. It was applied to 8 high school students between the ages of 12-19 who are studying in Yozgat. Research data were obtained by semi-structured interview, one of the qualitative data collection tools. The data obtained as a result of the interviews with the participants were analyzed with descriptive analysis. At the end of the analysis of the data, themes were created in consideration of the literature. These themes are (1) stress, (2) mental problems, (3) physical problems, (4) coping with stress, and (5) environment. In this context, it is seen that family, friends and teachers play an important role in the psychological, physical and behavioral problems of adolescents and in the solution of these problems. The application of the research to a single high school type and the fact that the number of male students is more than the number of female students are among the limitations of the research. Based on the data obtained, trainings and seminars can be given by experts to families about the physical development and psychological problems of adolescence.
