The session focused on various important aspects of adolescent health, including awareness of the risks of digital addiction, control of screen time, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. The discussion also highlighted how excessive digital usage can negatively impact both physical and mental well-being.

In addition, the program covered key topics related to adolescent development, including normal hormonal changes during puberty, emotional and behavioral changes, the relationship between reproductive and mental health, the importance of dispelling myths surrounding menstruation, and relevant awareness on nocturnal emissions.
