Dr. Neha V Bhargava (MS DNB Gynaecology) and Dr. Vivek Shivhare (MBBS MD Paediatrics) were the resource persons. The lecture gave a subjective and thorough knowledge about adolescence. Some of the points covered were, how excess energy should be channelised properly, how selecting peers can play a crucial role at this age and more importantly, not to bully or tease anybody. Anxiety, depression and addiction to harmful things can drastically affect one's health mentally and physically, resulting in poor academic performances.
The resource person further elaborated that the focus of the students should be on balanced diet, regular exercise/playing, studying, sleeping time, etc. so that they use their high energy to improve their overall personality. They told students to open up on these topics with someone they are close to and who can direct and guide them in the right direction. They summarised by saying not to blindly follow the trends that are shown in the media as these are shown just for entertainment.
