[Answer
Key: The term 'storm and stress'
was coined by G. Stanley Hall in Adolescence, written in 1904. Hall used this
term because he viewed adolescence as a period of inevitable turmoil that takes
place during the transition from childhood to adulthood. 'Storm' refers to a decreased level of self-control, and 'stress' refers to an increased level
of sensitivity. Hall's perception of adolescence continues to influence our
view of this period of development. Three main categories of storm and stress
described by Hall are:
Conflict with parents: Adolescents tend to rebel against
authority figures as they seek greater independence and autonomy.
Mood disruption: Hormonal changes and the psychological
stress of adolescence can cause uncontrollable shifts in emotions.
Risky behaviour: The combination of a neurological need
for stimulation and emotional immaturity lead to increased risk-taking
behaviour during adolescence.]
