Psychological Problems of Adolesent Children in Kerala



Unlike in the past, today's adolescent girls in Kerala go through various levels of stress. It could be internal (family) or from outsides sources. The adolescent stage is a very precarious phase of life when child goes through various physical and metal transformation. It's a time when parental support and guidance is required.

There's also a rise in delinquent behaviour among adolescent girls in Kerala. In one survey it was reported that lack of parental guidance, involvement, attachment or lack of intimacy is resulting in abnormal among adolescent girls.

Adolescent girls are more prone to stress due to these elements
  • Worries about schoolwork and study
  • Difficulty in studies
  • Bringing up in an unhappy family
  • Sexual or verbal abuse
  • Relationships problems with peers
  • Weight related issues
  • Looks and peer pressure
  • Over exposure to T.V and Internet
  • Parent - Adolescent Relationship

Role of family in building better relationship with adolescent kids
1. As a parent you can approach kids as a friend. Adopt a peaceful and a calm approach in understanding their problems.
2. Don't jump into conclusions or accuse them. Instead show concern, support and most importantly be a good listener
3. Avoid constant supervision of their life - Be it their dressing, about friends or behaviors. In short stop being helicopter mom's
4. Take clues from their words and try to understand the meaning in their words. Don't always take things lightly. Maybe, they are facing problems at school or have some stress from outside which they are not ready to share. If you suspect some problem, you can seek the support of good counsellors.
5. Never, never quarrel in front of your children. It can lead to stress and depression

Internet Addiction Among Indian Teenagers


About 73% of teenagers in India face problems arising from internet addiction – says a recent study by National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore.

Most children aged from 13 to 17 years who exhibited signs of behavioral problems were found to be addicted to social networks like Facebook, mobile games, etc.

Addiction to internet, social media and multimedia games has the same form as that of substance abuse and addictions to alcohol, tobacco, etc.

Among the several cases of internet addiction, a child started getting seizures because of sleep deprivation due to excess use of Facebook – as case reported from Kochi, Kerala.

Peer-pressure is one important contributing factor to internet addiction. Everyone in the friends circle will be telling experiences of using Facebook, playing mobile games, etc. This puts pressure on young children to imitate others.

Most children brought for counselling exhibit telltale signs of addictions – like spending several hours in closed rooms.

Internet addiction is prevalent not only among children from major cities like Trivandrum, Kochi, Calicut, etc, but also among kids of smaller towns of Kerala.


Help your kids overcome Facebook and Internet Addiction. Psychological Counselling available. Fix an appointment with a trained counsellor.
