  • Abstract:
  • Adolescence is a transitional phase characterized by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to psychological stress due to hormonal shifts, social expectations, and body image concerns. The present study explores the emotional and psychological well-being of adolescent girls, focusing on factors such as body image dissatisfaction, coping mechanisms, and social support systems. A descriptive cross- sectional study was conducted on 200 adolescent girls from both urban and rural areas of Bareilly district. Standardized tools including Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Body Image Concern Inventory were used. Results revealed that 62% of respondents experienced anxiety, 58% reported dissatisfaction with body image, and 54% faced peer pressure. Girls with higher perceived social support showed better emotional well-being. The study emphasizes the importance of positive self-image, emotional literacy, and social support in promoting psychological health among adolescent girls.
