The top ten psychological problems of teenagers are generally in the middle school stage, which is the most intense period of their physical and mental development, as well as the most passionate, romantic, creative, conservative and active period. Let's share the top ten psychological problems of teenagers.
Ten psychological problems of teenagers 1 1, inferiority complex.
Inferiority refers to making a low evaluation of one's own quality and ability and feeling inferior to others' psychological feelings. A proper sense of inferiority can motivate you to make up for your own shortcomings and surpass yourself; However, excessive inferiority will lead to depression and seriously affect our physical and mental health.
Some middle school students often make mistakes because of their poor academic performance, so at home and at school, they criticize more than praise, blame more than encouragement, and punish more than guidance. So I thought I was hopeless, felt inferior, and became disheartened, depressed, self-destructive and negative. Form the inferiority complex of "I am inferior to others".
2. rebellious psychology
The so-called rebellious psychology refers to the opposing emotions and behavioral intentions that are contrary to cognitive information and general normal education requirements due to the inherent traditional stereotypes and thinking patterns in the process of receiving education. Many middle school students often can't treat their parents' pains and teachers' criticism and education correctly because of their poor ability to distinguish right from wrong and their doubts. They doubt everything, are supercilious, hold a negative attitude towards positive propaganda, deny role models and advanced figures for no reason, have emotional identification with bad tendencies, and passively resist ideological education and compliance with rules and regulations.
Step 3 be lonely
People are gregarious animals, and people can't live without groups and interpersonal communication. Loneliness is a subjective psychological feeling that you are excluded, forgotten and psychologically isolated from the world. Loneliness is a psychological state of loneliness, helplessness and unhappiness produced by individuals in groups. Loneliness is the result of lack of communication with people, and it is also a psychological problem that it is difficult to communicate well with people.
Many middle school students are withdrawn, afraid of communication, and often feel that they are alone in the vast sea, or feel sorry for themselves, or groan without illness. They don't want to enter the hot life, but complain that others don't understand and accept themselves. Some middle school students seldom associate with others and often act alone behind everyone's back. Their interpersonal relationship is alienated and diluted, and they advocate being "superman" and "eccentric". They feel lonely inside.
4. Jealousy
Jealousy is a social psychology and consciousness. Some people describe jealousy as a fundamental, universal and intense psychological phenomenon. Psychologists define jealousy as a targeted feeling, a tendency to look at the happiness of others with pain. When the current and expected relationship is threatened, it is a ambivalence of jealousy and hostility. In middle school, some students' beautiful appearance, excellent academic performance, superior family conditions and being loved by teachers often arouse the envy of others. The more they care about and attach importance to the object of jealousy, the more vulnerable they are to despair and fear, and then develop into some bad emotions such as hatred, hostility, resentment and revenge.
5. Self-centered mentality
Some middle school students are only addicted to self-realization and personal struggle, and they can take themselves as the core everywhere. If you encounter something slightly unsatisfactory, you will break into a furious rage, eat humble pie, or haggle over every ounce if you violate a little personal interests, be insensitive to the collective and be indifferent to society. In doing things, only others care about him (her), and he (she) never cares about others. Once his personal desires are not satisfied, he will try his best to harm others and social interests, and even embark on the road of crime.
Step 6 be tired of learning
Weariness refers to students' psychological state of losing interest in school life, boredom and indifference, and their bad performance in action. According to the survey, the number of students who are tired of learning is as high as 50. 14% among middle school students, and the highest is Grade Two, reaching 66. 18%.
They are characterized by lack of motivation to learn, boredom with learning, loss of confidence in making progress and low desire to learn. In the worst case, they even lose interest in learning, regard learning as a chore, are too lazy to open textbooks in class, can't finish their homework independently, and hope to graduate early in order to get rid of it. What's more, I don't study at all, and I'm in a daze all day long. They get headaches when they see textbooks, worry when they sit in the classroom, often arrive late and leave early, miss classes, lack feelings for teachers, and feel bad about teachers.
7. Puppy love problem
The so-called puppy love refers to the premature occurrence or development of love among teenagers. There are roughly two bases for judging whether puppy love is possible: one is the degree of self-reliance in life; The second is the difference between the age of love and the legal minimum age for marriage.
Puppy love is a common phenomenon in adolescence. With the development of the body and the maturity of the reproductive system, middle school students will have psychological curiosity and yearning for the opposite sex, and it is easy for boys and girls to have a hazy affection. Coupled with the help of pop songs, romance novels and film and television media, it is a ripening agent for the sexual psychological development of middle school students. Coupled with the severe criticism and supervision of parents and teachers, students have a strong rebellious mentality, which is even more.
8, obsessed with network problems
With the development of society, the Internet has entered our lives more and more. The Internet has brought us a lot of convenience and disadvantages. For example, middle school students are obsessed with the internet. Some middle school students have poor self-control ability, so they can't get out when they enter the network. For example, a cousin of mine fell in love with the Internet when he was a freshman. He stayed in the Internet cafe for several days and nights, and the school informed his family if he could not be found.
9. The problem of "idolization"
When the colorful pursuit of successful people such as singers, dancers, movie stars, sports stars and writers who reflect youthful vitality on the screen and stage, a pair of heartfelt worship eyes are also closely following these "star-level" figures, which has also become one of the cultural phenomena of teenagers-the emergence of "star fans" and the rise of "youth idol fever". The phenomenon of idolization of middle school students is very obvious in the first grade of junior high school. I once worked as an intern in the first grade of junior high school in our town. After class, I chatted with my classmates, who surrounded me and asked me which singer and comedian I liked.
10, test anxiety
Examination anxiety is a very complicated emotional phenomenon. It is a common psychological phenomenon, which is caused by a certain examination situation, characterized by anxiety, manifested as defense or escape, and restricted by individual cognitive evaluation, personality factors and other physical and mental factors. The performance is: I feel nervous when I hear that I will have an exam, I can't sleep well before the exam, I feel nervous, flustered and my memory is stuck during the exam. Some students who usually study well panic when they get to the exam and can't play their due level. According to the survey, about 1 1. 18% of middle school students have obvious anxiety symptoms about exams. Serious test anxiety not only does great harm to study, but also poses a potential threat to the physical and mental health of middle school students.
Ten psychological problems of teenagers 2 1, test anxiety.
Faced with strong competitive pressure, many candidates will have test anxiety before the exam. Its performance is absent-minded in class and very anxious and irritable. I have a desire to get angry when I see anything, and I always feel that my every move is a waste of time.
2, obsessive-compulsive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental illness, which is mainly manifested in repeated obsessive-compulsive ideas, compulsive impulses or compulsive behaviors. Most patients think that these thoughts and behaviors are unnecessary or abnormal, which goes against their wishes, but they can't get rid of them, so they are deeply anxious and painful.
3. Study pressure
The study burden of middle school students is too heavy, which often brings them heavy psychological pressure. It is not uncommon for teenagers to fall into pain because of the pressure of study. These situations are more concentrated and prominent at the end of the term, in the middle school, in the college entrance examination, and when the surrounding environment changes greatly (such as the sudden change of parental relationship, etc.). Some teenagers can't bear these psychological pressures, and sometimes they show unusual resistance, leading to domestic violence, and some even commit suicide passively. Now the whole society is calling for decompression for primary and secondary school students, hoping that the situation will improve.
4, phobia
Fear of learning is a common psychological obstacle for children, which refers to the phenomenon of refusing to go to school because of strong fear of school. This is a psychological obstacle that mainly happens to top students. Excessive expectations and demands, excessive load, unreasonable comparison and absolute thinking are the soil for this psychological obstacle.
5. The pressure of interpersonal communication
With the growth of age and the enhancement of independent consciousness, teenagers have more and more extensive contact with society and their desire for independence is getting stronger and stronger. The development of social communication and intimate partnership is the spiritual demand of teenagers. Young people who are troubled by interpersonal pressure usually show inferiority, excessive concern for other people's evaluation, fragility, strong vanity and fear of losing face.
6. Frustration in love
Marriage is the destination and sublimation of love. Noble and happy love is beneficial to the physical and mental health of both men and women and gives people beautiful enjoyment. If the marriage is not handled properly, it is lovelorn, unrequited, married against one's will, and older girls or boys fall in love late. They will be greatly stimulated mentally, resulting in unhealthy psychology and love diseases. Psychologists call this symptom lovelorn frustration syndrome.

10, depression
Depression is a mental disorder with high prevalence and high clinical cure rate.

In severe cases, depressive stupor may appear, which is characterized by fixed facial expressions, no response to stimuli, little speech or silence, little movement or immobility, etc.
Top Ten Psychological Problems of Teenagers 3 Test Anxiety Disorder
[Case] "As soon as I get the test paper, my mind is blank." Xiaoli got excellent grades from childhood, but after entering the third grade, her grades dropped again. Because she is bent on being admitted to a key high school, she has been studying nervously under the pressure of herself. After the general review began, every time she got the test paper, her mind was blank and she forgot all the mathematical and physical formulas. She can't do the problem she did before now. She said, "I feel ashamed to face my parents. I might as well die. "
[Coping] Every student has test anxiety, but the degree varies from person to person. Obviously Xiaoli has typical exam anxiety. At this time, the patient encouragement of parents and parents is very important. Parents should first accept the child's nervousness and anxiety, listen to the child's worries and anxiety, and let him slowly give up those unfavorable thoughts, thus improving the exam anxiety. Children can also find a bosom friend to vent all kinds of grievances.
[Hint] The so-called "test anxiety" refers to the physical or psychological tension caused by the test. Physical stress, such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, confusion or blank thinking, etc. Psychological stress is mostly a form of worry, such as worrying that you won't write many questions during the exam, and worrying that you will be scolded by your parents if you fail the exam.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
[Case] Since she entered high school, Linlin felt that she was studying harder than before, but the first thing she did when she got home was to sort out all the things at home. After doing these things, you can concentrate on your homework. Sometimes things that have been put away will be taken out and put back. This kind of thing has to be repeated several times, and finally you have to fully realize it yourself before you stop this kind of behavior. It took Linlin a lot of precious time, and she was very depressed about it, but she said she couldn't help herself.
[Coping] Generally speaking, there is a potential reason behind obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as parents' pursuit of perfection and high demands on their children. If parents find that their children are often in a daze, doing homework slowly, biting their nails, shrugging their shoulders, etc. They have to pay attention. This is probably a compulsion. At this time, parents should pay attention to observing their children, understand why children do this, and take their children to see a doctor as soon as possible.
[Tips] Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness that relieves inner anxiety through ritualized behavior. Patients will have lingering thoughts and behaviors they have to do. Mainly manifested as forced thinking or forced behavior. Obsessive thinking refers to some thoughts, impulses and emotions that appear repeatedly in patients' minds. Patients can realize that these are unnecessary and want to get rid of them, but they can't get rid of them, so they are very upset.
Gender role ambiguity
[Case] Mingming is a boy, this year 10 years old, and he looks white and clean. Because his father died early, he lived with his grandmother since he was a child. A week after the start of school, some of his unusual behaviors attracted the attention of the teacher, and he spoke loudly and often spoiled young female teachers. A month later, he will not only hug the female teacher, but also hug the female classmates often and sometimes kiss the girls.
[Coping] Obviously, the performance is the ambiguity of gender roles. After research, psychologists found that Mingming's social networks were almost all women, which made him think that he loved playing with girls and that they were just like himself. In order to change this gender bias, we can ask his grandfather and the male teachers in the school to talk, communicate and play with him often, and at the same time consciously arrange some male students to play games with him, so that he can affirm that he is a man under the demonstration of male role models and gradually learn to be brave and strong.
[Tips] The so-called ambiguity of gender roles refers to the dislocation of individuals' recognition of their gender roles. Generally speaking, from about 3 years old, children begin to gradually form the concept of gender roles. If a little boy thinks of himself as a person like the girls around him and tries to imitate women in dress, expression and behavior, he becomes a feminine boy, and vice versa.
frightened
[Case] Qingqing is 8 years old, just in the first grade. She was originally a very lively and lovely child. But in the past six months, every morning before going to school, she tried every means to find an excuse to stay at home and refused to go, or she was afraid of cold, abdominal distension and stomachache, or she didn't sleep well last night and didn't have enough to eat. But when you don't have to go to school on weekends, all the abnormal emotions disappear. After the doctor's examination, Xiao Qingqing was found to have phobia.
[Coping] All kinds of pressures from parents, schools and teachers, improper education methods, children's timid, sensitive and unable to stand criticism are all likely to lead to phobia. Parents should first look for the reasons why their children refuse to go to school, and don't force their children to go to school with simple threats. Let the children stay in school for an hour at first, and if this step is successful, the time can be gradually extended.
[Tips] "Fear of learning" is a serious psychological disease of children, which is more common in primary school students aged 7- 12. Because students are afraid of going to school, they have fear, which is also called school phobia. The common performance is that children are afraid of going to school and even openly refuse to go to school. When they were at school, they felt reluctant and unhappy. When it's time to go to school, they don't go or make harsh conditions. As soon as they arrive at school, they make excuses to go home, or complain about headaches, dizziness, abdominal pain, vomiting and other discomfort in the early morning or the night before school starts. The above symptoms will not appear on holidays.
Body image problem
[Case] Xiao Liang is in the second grade of junior high school this year. He is a study committee member in his class, but he is slender and ugly. In the year of Seeds of Love, he fell in love with a girl in his class. Unexpectedly, after the confession, the girl turned and fled, shouting: "It's so ugly." "Am I really ugly?" Liang Xiao kept asking himself that when he went back that day, he looked in the mirror. Small eyes and a flat nose in the mirror made him uglier, so he felt inferior. He wants to "reinvent himself", but he can't, so he often suffers from insomnia and begins to care about other people's comments on him. He never dared to go to crowded places again, and his grades finally plummeted.
[Coping] Boys are more worried that they are not tall enough, while girls are worried that they are not beautiful enough. With the physiological changes, students entering junior high school gradually begin to pay attention to their own image, and many people even have a serious mental burden because of their appearance or physical defects. It can be said that among all kinds of psychological troubles of teenagers, body image troubles account for a high proportion. Psychologists suggest telling such children that there is no perfect body image, and handsome men and beautiful women also have shortcomings. Tell them that temperament is the most important thing and learn to appreciate their talents. For example, although Liang Xiao's eyes are small, she is very sacred. Although she looks ordinary, she has a good figure.
[Tips] Body image disturbance is a kind of sexual psychological disorder, which generally appears in adolescence. At this time, in the face of the sudden emergence of gender differences, teenagers often lack sufficient psychological preparation. They can't help comparing with others. Once the gap is big, some of them will have trouble with their body image.
Frustrated in love
[Case] Xiao Yang, who is tall and thin, has a good impression on the female classmate at the same table since the first year of high school. He always buys two ice creams, lends new books to others, and escorts his deskmate home after school at night. At the end of the semester, Xiao Yang excitedly proposed "developing love relationship", but his deskmate said that he was "crooked" and asked the teacher to adjust his seat. After being poured cold water, Xiao Yang not only didn't calm down, but had compulsive thinking: "Why doesn't she like me?" Am I too thin? I don't deserve her? "Thinking all day makes his grades decline. Finally one day, he chose to commit suicide.
[Coping] Teenagers' psychological development and physical development are often out of sync, so setbacks in love often make them disheartened. At this time, people with poor psychological endurance are prone to mental illness. Therefore, parents and teachers should find teenagers who are frustrated in love as soon as possible and give them correct guidance and meticulous care. Teachers can use excellent literary and artistic works and great deeds to carry out adolescent sex education and help them form a correct world outlook.
[Tips] Adolescent children are often more sensitive. At this time, some minor things are easy to cause psychological problems, such as frustration in love and trouble in body image.
Social phobia
[Case] "If you want me to speak on stage, you might as well kill me." Xiao Zhang is an introverted high school student. When I was in junior high school, I squinted at the girls in the same row because of love, which caused the other party's disgust. After changing seats, I still can't change this behavior. Later, even the boys refused to sit next to him. From then on, he thought that the most difficult thing in the world was people, and he was very afraid of interacting with people. The teacher said that every time I meet a classmate, I should take turns to speak on the stage. He would rather pretend to be sick and play truant than talk to his classmates who live together day and night. Xiao Zhang obviously suffers from social phobia.
[Coping] If introverted children don't pay attention to adjusting their psychological state during adolescence, they will be afraid of interacting with others, which will lead to social fear. Therefore, as parents, we should examine whether our behavior towards children is appropriate in time, correct inappropriate educational behavior as soon as possible, and give more praise and encouragement to children. Children should pay attention to training to look at others with bold and confident eyes, laying the foundation for building self-confidence.
[Tips] People with social phobia often have obvious and persistent worries or fears when talking with unfamiliar people, exercising under the watchful eyes of everyone or interacting with the opposite sex, fearing that they will face embarrassment or shame. Patients generally take evasive actions against the environment they are afraid of, even if they persist, they are also very painful, and often have symptoms such as anxiety, sweating and blushing.
learning disorder
[Case] Xiaoli just entered school this year, but her parents found that their children were careless in doing their homework and often copied the wrong answers. When the test paper was issued, the parents found that many questions were missed, but Xiaoli said that she didn't see it at all. So the parents felt that the child had a problem with his learning attitude and deliberately did not do the problem, so they beat her up, but this situation has never improved for a whole semester.
[Coping] Experts pointed out that Xiaoli actually has a writing disorder. Generally, the eyes of such patients seem to be different from those of others, like "lazy eyes", which will miss a lot of obvious information. They can turn a blind eye while studying and throw away the whole problem, but later they say they don't see the problem. Such children are most easily misunderstood by teachers and parents. In fact, this is a special learning disability. Only by carrying out relevant visual perception training can we see the effect. Therefore, when children's academic performance is poor, parents and teachers should first understand what problems exist in children's learning psychology and to what extent, so as to design personalized education programs for children and train them for their special deficiencies in learning ability.
[Tips] Learning disability refers to the phenomenon that the intelligence is normal, but the academic performance is low due to the backward learning ability. Research shows that about 5%-65% of the students in school belong to children with learning disabilities. Learning disabilities are composed of several different types, including writing disabilities, reading disabilities and math disabilities (also known as non-language learning disabilities).
schizophrenia
[Case] After Xiao Wang was promoted to senior three, his grades went from bad to worse. He hides in his room as soon as he comes home every day. He seldom talks to his parents and keeps in touch with his friends. At first, mother Wang thought that Xiao Wang was temporarily uncomfortable because of the pressure of entering a higher school. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang's situation is getting weirder and weirder, and he talks to himself all day. One night after dinner, Xiao Wang claimed that he saw Yan Luowang trying to kill him, and his parents were cows and horses, so he picked up a kitchen knife and tried to kill his parents. Finally, Xiao Wang was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the diagnosis was schizophrenia.
[Coping] Because such diseases often have many precursors in daily life, parents or teachers should be vigilant and send them to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible once symptoms are found, so as not to miss the opportunity for treatment. This kind of patients' ability to cope with setbacks is worse than that of normal people, so they may deteriorate in the face of greater life pressure and cannot undertake too many learning tasks. Try to reduce the psychological burden of patients and don't expect too much from patients. Many less stressful family affairs at home can be handled by patients, so that patients can consciously contribute to the family and enhance their self-confidence.
[Tips] Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness, which mostly occurs between 15 and 20 years old. The main symptoms include thinking, emotion, behavior and other obstacles. At the early stage of the disease, patients may have symptoms such as sharp decline in grades or work performance, social withdrawal, and poor personal hygiene habits. In the incubation period, if you don't get proper treatment, your condition will get worse, and you will have hallucinations, delusions, incoherent speech, weird behavior and other symptoms.
depress
[Case] Xiao Zhang, a senior one, is one of the poor students in a school. One day he found the head teacher and said nervously and hurriedly, "I'm finished." For more than a month, I almost lost sleep at night and often vomited during the day. "He said, and raised his hand and adjusted her glasses regretfully. A scar appeared on her right wrist, which was the trace left by his attempted suicide not long ago.
[Coping] After counseling by a psychologist, Xiao Zhang was found to have depression. Experts suggest that in order to avoid depression caused by psychological problems, students can arrange their life and study more fully, avoid the sense of loss caused by too much fantasy and paranoia, and participate in more cultural and sports activities to make themselves feel better. In addition, you can talk to your parents and close classmates more, talk to them about your setbacks and make yourself happy.
[Tips] Depression is a mental illness with abnormal depression as its main clinical manifestation, which is characterized by boredom, powerlessness, hopelessness, powerlessness and helplessness. Symptoms include: extreme sadness, despair, fatigue and physical illness. The degree and nature of depression in patients with depression are far beyond the boundaries of normal variation, which is different from all kinds of troubles in daily life, and it is easy to gradually "see the clouds".
