        abstract = {Emotional maturity and psychological well-being are crucial for the healthy development of adolescents, particularly as they transition from late teenage years (16–19 years) into early adulthood. This study examines the impact of gender and socio-cultural factors on emotional maturity and mental well-being in older adolescents. Drawing on ideas from psychology and cultural studies, it explains how gender roles, family type, economic background, and cultural beliefs influence a young person’s ability to manage emotions, control their behaviour, and maintain mental health. The study also highlights the importance of providing counselling that considers both gender differences and cultural backgrounds, enabling adolescents to develop balanced emotions and a stable mind during this crucial stage of life.},
