Adolescence is a period in which a significant change occurs between childhood and adulthood. Pinpointing adolescence to a specific timeframe is complicated, as it does not always begin and end at the same age, although the WHO places it between 10 and 19 years old.

Beyond where to establish this period, the physical and psychological changes that occur often provoke conflicts with those who tutor adolescents. Understanding these changes becomes an arduous task for both parties, occasionally generating problems that seem unsolvable.
