1. Introduction Adolescence is a critical phase of life marked by significant physical, psychological, emotional, and social changes. The WHO defines any individual between the ages of 10 and 19 as an adolescent [1]. Although these definitions point chronologically to the teenage years of an individual, the cultural and social experiences associated with this phase may start earlier or later.
