Abstract

Adolescence is a stage of life that lies on the dividing line between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence is defined as the period of time when boys and girls transition mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically from childhood to maturity. Adolescents' physical state is a contributing element to their heightened emotionality. A disturbed state of bodily homeostasis nearly always results in increased emotionality. Additionally, adolescence is a time of social development. During this period, individuals are developing their social skills and become more aware of their civic responsibilities. So, in this article emerging trends on adolescence with special reference to physical, social and emotional development has been discussed.
