The teenage period is one of the most special stages of our development. It is the antechamber before adulthood, it is the stage that transforms you from a child into an adult. This transitional period is characterized by intra-individual conflicts, calling for the individual to manage unique challenges. During this period everything changes: not only the way we perceive the world, but also ourselves, experiencing unique emotional and physical changes.
