No one is surprised to hear that the period of adolescence is tough on a young person, their friends, teachers, and family. Some days things are going well, but suddenly and without warning, the mood and behavior swings to the worse. It used to be assumed that adolescence ended after teenage years, and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. Recent research suggests, however, that the adolescence period ends at about age 25.
