Abstract

Puberty is an important and inevitable stage for adolescents' physical and psychological development and the establishment of their ideological concepts. As adolescents' self-awareness strengthens during puberty, they tend to exhibit rebellious behaviors, with their actions and attitudes becoming confrontational and critical. This is a highly prominent psychological phenomenon of rebellion among adolescents in puberty. However, when adolescents experience rebellious issues, they often fail to be understood by their parents and teachers and do not receive proper guidance from the outside world. This ultimately leads to the further development of their rebellious problems, which may transform into pathological or criminal mindsets, causing serious consequences. In response to this situation, this paper analyzes the emergence of rebellious issues among adolescents in puberty, which is influenced by various factors from multiple aspects, including their own physiological and psychological conditions as well as influences from society, family, or school. By combining case studies in practice, the research has identified effective strategies for social work intervention in addressing adolescents' rebellious issues.
