In a recent discussion, clinical psychologist Lisa Damour shared her thoughts on how the Netflix series 'Adolescence' accurately portrays the challenges faced by young boys today. According to Damour, the show effectively captures the emotional and social complexities that define this critical stage of development.
She emphasized that the series does a commendable job of illustrating the internal conflicts that many teenage boys experience, such as the pressure to conform to societal expectations while navigating their own identities. Damour pointed out that the characters in 'Adolescence' reflect real-life struggles, including issues related to mental health, peer relationships, and the quest for self-acceptance.
