Abstract
Adolescent mental health plays a crucial role in their overall development, affecting emotional stability, academic performance, and social adaptation. This paper examines the concept of mental health in adolescents, its essential components, and the characteristics of those with strong or poor mental well-being. Key contributing factors include biological influences, family environment, social relationships, and academic pressures. Additionally, digital media and economic conditions also impact adolescent mental health. Understanding these factors is vital for creating supportive environments and effective interventions that promote long-term mental well-being.
