Emotional difficulties arise because of
incorrect or inadequate information concerning sex. Many adolescents
feel that questions concerning sex are improper.

acts as a transition period before
adolescents reach adult status in the community. As they interact with

belonging and responsibility.

which remain relatively unchanged throughout life.

which are required of them and not those that will be of practical value
to them in later life.
