Friendship also becomes important. In addition, peer pressure increases and behavioural changes are observed, which sometimes create conflict between the teen and their parents.
Puberty is the result of hormonal changes, which, in addition to being responsible for the physical changes of adolescence, cause mood swings. This requires a lot of patience and understanding from the teen's loved ones.

In the present day, ethical or ethical issues are as important as scientific and technological activities and progress. Surely, today's generation lacks moral values and the future generations, too, will be confused about their morality. Youth or teenagers are the assets of tomorrow; so lack of moral values is a serious issue in this important section of society.
Albert Einstein, a genius once said, Don't try to be a successful person, but be a valuable person.
There are many books on moral values for teenagers, while the internet is also full of material on such topics. However, neither books nor the Internet can instill these values in adolescents.
