Abstract

Adolescents in India are at risk. These risks results from issues such as poverty, lack of access of health and education, risky health behaviours sexual exploitation, alcohol and drug abuse crime violence, delinquency, gang involvement, truancy, academic failure, peer pressure, neglect and suicide injuries etc. Adolescence is often thought to be a time of significant upheaval and outward disarray brought on by physiological and psychological growth. Although teenage behavior appears to be influenced by culture, sociological research on this time period is lacking, and our understanding of adolescent social experiences is still quite limited. It would be necessary to use a social perspective to the study of teenagers. The biological, social, and psychological development of young people between childhood and maturity is the main emphasis of adolescent sociology. During adolescence, people develop their cognitive reasoning skills, achieve majority status, and acquire social advantages. The majority of adolescents finish school, go through cultural milestones, become emotionally and financially dependent on their parents, and grow closer to their classmates. These changes are studied by developmental sociologists in the contexts of the family, the home, the school, the neighborhood, the house of worship, and extracurricular activities. In contrast to the psychological study of adolescence, development sociologists concentrate more on the social structures that influence the development of teenagers. The social system view is frequently used by generalist social workers to visualize the contextual nature of social issues, the interactions across social systems, and the range of possible social work solutions. Social workers work with human systems, including families, communities, peer groups, organizations, and neighborhoods. They emphasize the relationships between members of these systems and their surrounding environments. The social system perspective offers a means of visualizing the relationships between individuals and different social structures as webs of relationships. According to the ecological system approach, human needs and societal issues originate from the way that individuals interact with their surroundings. Through a constant, reciprocal adaptation process, humans both influence and are influenced by their physical and social surroundings. A family system perspective the system approach considers the dynamic of relationship among family members and their environment. Helping individuals with their lives is the focus of social work; persons with psychiatric or physical issues frequently need practical assistance with day-to-day living. Social workers in many areas are primary providers of social services for at risks adolescents. Social workers have significant opportunity to affects adolescent well-being and respond to problems through their work in health school mental health, and juvenile justice etc.
