04, Stanley Hall, who was personally motivated by Darwin, who depicted human development as analogous to evolutionary development and also saw adolescence period as similar to eras of turbulence and storm. He also regarded the instability, anguish and intensity of adolescence as a necessary precursor to the establishment of adult stability. Halls idea is now part of popular culture thus suggesting that many parents expect that adolescents will undergo a period of storm and stress.

Psychologist have come to recognise the fact that adolescence is a unique period in the human development but according to (Twiford and Carson 1980, p4) some adult are increasingly disturbed in their attempt to understand behaviour of adolescents and also suggest that experts have described adolescents as inconsistent, unpredictable, erratic, emotional and self centred thus creating a general view and impression that adolescence period portrays a period of stress and storm.

Apart from the factors mention above earlier, conflicts with parents, mood disruption and behaviour, there are different factors responsible for why adolescent experience various storms and stress during this stage and this is due to the rapid changes and transitions going on in the body and in the environment around them. One factor responsible is the search of autonomy which according to (Erikson 1959) described it as a process of individualisation and (Freud 1958) also analysed it as a developing sense of detachment from parent.

Most adolescent stress is also related to lack of identity which usually arises because they start to think about who they are and what they want to become and this tend to put them under a pressure to discover their real identity and the pursuit of this leads to a sharpened sense of dignity which makes them want to gain their freedom and freedom of choice thus creating a gap between themselves and their parents because they see themselves as more of an individual and someone who can make decisions on their own and this whole process of transition causes a whole lot of confusion between them and the parents which is one big subject parents nowadays find difficult to cope with and tends to see adolescent as moody, self centred, detached or being too concealed.

Also this leads to peer pressure issues, the continuous search for identity leads to them flocking with people who are of the same mindset and this tends to put them under more pressure within peer group e.g. acceptance. Most adolescent want to be associated within a group where they would feel welcomed and acceptance, failure to achieve this tends to have a negative influence on such individual which in effect leads to struggling for power with peer as a result leading to aggressiveness and violent behaviour and as a result of this, according to (Farrington and Hawkin 1991), association with antisocial peer can be a contributing factor to the escalation of antisocial behaviours which in some cases leads to substance misuse, delinquency and school problems

School also plays an important role during adolescent period, the environment and the nature of school also has its impact on adolescent life. (Huizinga and Jacob 1998) says that more than eighty percent of adolescent had been involved in one or more problem at school such as truancy, suspension, poor academic development and in extreme cases drop out completely. All of these proble
