Teachers must be patient and tactful when dealing with adolescent students. They should listen sympathetically to problems, appreciate individual differences, and provide opportunities according to each student's talents. The school environment should support students' physical, emotional, and social development through activities, exercise, sex education, self-expression opportunities, and friendship building. Teachers also need to provide religious/moral education, vocational guidance, and work experiences to help adolescents adjust better.
