Abstract
Adolescence is very complex and important period of every individual’s life. This is the period in which individual gains new experiences and new responsibilities. This is the period in which many changes take place. Sometimes these changes are so sudden that individual cannot cope with them and that causes psychological problems like depression, stress etc. At this time parent and social support is necessary so that adolescents can develop balanced and positive personality. Mother’s employment invariability adds further to the stress in the family in many ways. Eliminating stress from life is impossible. However stress management can decrease some of the harmful effects of stress. The present study was conducted on 200 adolescents comprising 100 boys and 100 girls, out of which 50 boys and 50 girls of working mothers and 50 boys and 50 girls of non-working mothers was taken from Senior Secondary Schools affiliated to Punjab School Education Board of Amritsar city.
