Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Loneliness is becoming a fast growing problem among the youth nowadays. Loneliness can lead to severe psychological and physical health problems in adolescence which make them fall behind on their courses, causing study delay or even drop out of education. Not addressing or solving experiences of loneliness in a satisfactory way, leads to several detrimental outcomes. All the mentioned problems make loneliness among adolescents a concern for families and society as well. The most important reason for loneliness during adolescence is failure to maintain closed relationships. There are many other factors also that cause loneliness which are discussed in this paper. In order to establish effective interventions for reducing loneliness among adolescents, a better understanding of the mechanisms of loneliness is required. Therefore, this study also describes some coping strategies and interventions to reduce feelings of loneliness among adolescents.
