"We undergo different phases over time, which are critical for total growth and progress in life. There are six major issues that shape these transitions during early childhood and adolescence. The primary issue is about education and occupational paths. In adulthood, one has to make educational and career choices. It is a crucial period and decisions made at that point may largely determine a person's career trajectory.

Finally, there is the problem of creating as well as nurturing one's close relationships. It is in early adulthood that individuals venture into relationships, learn the concept of attachment, and establish lifelong connections. A healthy relationship leads to personal development and emotional stability emotionally. It is at this stage in life that people learn to compromise, communicate appropriately, and develop trust between close relations. Furthermore, personal identity also becomes an issue to be addressed in adolescence and during adulthood. Adolescents find themselves undergoing a critical phase during their development as they move toward their young adult years. This self-realization has core implications for values, beliefs as well and confidence leading to their identity. Physical and mental health issues also become important at this time. Young people need to start having healthy habits like exercising often, consuming healthy foods, and sleeping on time. Good health promotes reduced chances of developing a chronic illness and enhances total wellness. Just like that, mental health should be considered together, because there are stresses, tensions, and finally distress that appear in one's life when they change their surroundings.

Lastly, childhood and youth determine numerous issues that mark the course of our lives. The way we approach such issues as selection of educational institutions and profession, establishment of an emotional relationship, development of individual personality, and formation of proper physical and mental condition will have a great influence on our future prosperity. High school students in particular need to appreciate this problem and arrive at adult-determining decisions that could define success and happiness in adulthood".
