Question

Why adolescence period is known as the period of strom and strain?

Answer 1

hello there,

This is an example of storm and stress that is experienced in adolescence. The term 'storm and stress' was coined by G. Stanley Hall in Adolescence, written in 1904. Hall used this term because he viewed adolescence as a period of inevitable turmoil that takes place during the transition from childhood to adulthood. 'Storm' refers to a decreased level of self-control, and 'stress' refers to an increased level of sensitivity. Hall's perception of adolescence continues to influence our view of this period of development.
