Explanation:

   In the scientific study, the work of G. Stanley Hall, with an emphasis on biological theory, which defines adolescence as a period of universal and inevitable transition, consider it as a second birth. It recognizes the influence of culture while valuing the individual differences of the adolescent and their characteristic of plasticity (malleability) and can be considered innovative and provocative for their time, a precursor of contemporary contextualist theories.

   In his work, Hall described adolescence as a period marked by "storm and stress" and, over the past century, many studies have strengthened this view, emphasizing the difficulties and problems manifested at this time in life.  

   To this day, adolescence is touted as a particularly stressful period of life, probably as a result. physical, psychological, cognitive and social changes that are characteristic of this phase of development. Such changes lead to an increase in the number and variability of life experiences and demands that different environments (family, school, peer group) cause to those in this phase.  At this time, young people seek to experience new events (eg, loving relationships, finding new friends, academic goals), which can become a source of stress, which, in turn trigger the stress, making it bigger the conflicts between parents and adolescents.
