Adolescence is a period having the sense of individuality and the sense of familiarity. It is the shift from childhood to adulthood and so it is not a smooth one. In addition to this intellectual and affectional upheaval, rapid body growth causes them anxiousness and cultural pressures of today’s world add further strain to their quality. 10 to 20% of the world population comprises adolescents and their problems have not been fully understood and addressed until recent times. The target population for the study was selected from SSSS College of commerce at Amritsar. This population was selected by simple random sampling technique. The total samples under the study were 60 students (females).
