Creating awareness on medicolegal issues by parents, teachers and stake holders is important since it impacts the lives of adolescents.
Knowledge about POCSO Act, Juvenile Justice Act, legal age of marriage and consent for sex, Narcotic drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Child Labour Act, Laws regarding pornography, Motor Vehicle Act, media literacy, etc., among adolescents needs to be enhanced.
Teaching adolescents self discipline is the way out.
Good communication between parents and children helps develop a nurturing environment, helps in sharing concerns, gives scope for guidance and nonintrusive supervision.
Monitoring their digital activities, peer groups and early detection of deviation which is likely to become a legal issue should be taken up by gatekeepers of adolescent health.
Enhancing life skills is protective and avoids conflict with law.
