Abstract
Around one in six person in the world is an adolescent. WHO (2016) states adolescence as a period of preparation for adulthood during which time several key developmental experiences occur. If an adolescent does not get proper care, support, parental warmth and value of relationship, it may affect the overall development of an adolescent. The evolution of nuclear families and the employed parents along with the complexities of modern life has changed the patterns of parent- child interaction drastically. They become overly sensitive to criticism, afraid to make mistakes, blame others and feel like persecuted, shy, timid or withdrawn. 21% of Indian population is adolescents and Government initiates National level programs which enable the adolescents to realize their potential, which is inevitable in making them responsible to their life (NCBI, 2015). By knowing the importance of family environment, one can take these familial attributes into consideration when making choices, in order to resolve the crisis faced by an individual in adolescence and also later period of life. Therefore, the present study aims to understand the relationship between family environment and achievements of adolescents. With the background of different developmental theories, the paper attempts to throw lights on different dimensions of family environment towards the achievement of adolescent.
