•In addition, adolescence can be a time of increased health risk, resulting from peer and societal pressure, personal vulnerability, or lack of information. Some risk taking at this age is normal or even positive, but some is damaging. • Particular issues include mental health problems (including anxiety and self-harm), substance misuse, managing sleep and nutrition, and encouraging a healthy relationship with social media
