The adolescent phase for girls is a critical period characterized by significant bio-psychosocial transformations. It is imperative to provide adolescents with the necessary tools and abilities to effectively confront these challenges which are provided by the members of the family. The implementation of life skill education is commonly acknowledged as an intervention mechanism for augmenting skills and abilities to manage the daily challenges of life, particularly among a distinct demographic such as adolescents. This study aims to examine the potential correlation between the growing incidence of mental health disorders among minors and the escalating levels of problematic smartphone and social media usage. It highlights the necessity of promoting health education in schools and investigating the impact of inadequate parenting on adolescent mental health.
