Message of Healthy Youth Website:

Adolescence, puberty and youth are critical periods in every individual’s life. Teenage years are the time when external and internal changes take place simultaneously so that evolution can start. Not only does the bodily growth gather speed in these periods, but also the momentum of emotions as well as that of social and logical relations increases. Puberty is the time for people to recognize themselves as well as the phenomena surrounding them; and cognition means a rebirth and a fresh. Youth is the time of green experiences. Greenness symbolizes freshness, novelty, growth and spring. It wipes cold off the memories and reminds of the sun with all its benevolences.

Without a doubt, physical, mental and psychological health in these periods of life is the basis for beautiful emotions and successful experiences. Teenagers experience puberty, and only with a sound knowledge of the developments occurring in theses periods will they be able to welcome their mental and physical changes and use them as an opportunity for growth. Young people see themselves amidst a mass of new needs and emotions. These changes are inherently sacred and their purpose is to prepare human beings for assuming responsibilities in their social and familial lives. These changes open a door to a new world of abilities before a young person; at the same time, they entail various individual, familial and social responsibilities, and the most important of all, responsibilities toward one’s God and his or her own self. Mental and physical health is the key to deal with these potentially good changes. Young people should know what problems threaten their bodies and souls. They should know what responsibilities they should assume in return for the abilities God has bestowed on them. They should know ways to maintain their health and eliminate external threats with awareness while enjoying their youth and make use of it to excel themselves and their society.
