Impact of Psychosocial Factors on the Adolescents' Behaviour (Report‪)‬

Introduction Adolescence period is very essential to the growth of any person. The peculiarities of this period make it unique from other aspects of development. It is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood; it requires an atmosphere full of love and understanding to function well. In Nigeria today, many adolescents are getting into problems simply because of how they were nurtured and what they were exposed to in the course of growing up. Growing up in Nigeria sometimes depends on the types of homes and parents one has. The economic status of the homes whether low or high may likely contribute to the positive or negative development of the adolescents. The homes too, whether loving, caring and supportive may contribute enormously to the proper development of the adolescent child.
