Adolescent Labels

In the English Language, the idea of being a teen is associated with terms like "restlessness" and "rebelliousness" (Teens in the Middle East, 2003).

The term often implies "immaturity and imperfection," which gives them the mindset that they must seek guidance from their older family members (Teens in the Middle East, 2003).
