Features: Adolescence is the transitional period from childhood to adulthood. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the age range of adolescence as 10-20 years, while in China, it is generally considered to be 11-18 years. The characteristics of adolescence include rapid growth and development, as well as abrupt changes in physical, psychological, and physiological aspects. During this stage, behaviors, habits, personalities, interests, and hobbies gradually form. Adolescence is not only a period of rapid physical and psychological changes but also an important stage for acquiring cultural knowledge, learning social norms, and developing life skills. In light of this, we have compiled this book, "Health and Wellness Guidance for Adolescents." This book provides a detailed introduction to the physiological development of adolescents, adolescent health and wellness, psychological health during adolescence, the development of intellectual thinking, emotions and feelings, social etiquette, health and beauty, nutritional health, and the prevention and treatment of common adolescent diseases, among other topics. It is written in an easy-to-understand, concise, and practical manner, making it an excellent resource for adolescents, as well as a reference for middle and primary school teachers and researchers engaged in adolescent education.
