Adolescent help-seeking: what do they get help for and from whom?

Article Abstract:

Previous research shows that young people engaged in help-seeking behavior to cope with the various challenges brought on by adolescence. However, little research has been done to explain adolescents' help-seeking behavior. Moreover, research on help-seeking behavior among adolescents failed to consider the problems encountered by adolescents. To remedy this problem, help-seeking behavior in a group of school-aged adolescents is studied.
