Abstract

The young generation of our country is being increasingly confronted with the problems of frustration, anger and development of low self esteem in the present age of science and technology. The problem of inferiority complex among adolescents is taking alarming proportions these days.Inferiority complex is a kind of psychological obstacle that occurs usually in adolescence and its reasons are complicated and its effects are negative and harmful.According to Adler, Inferiority complex arises when a person finds himself in a situation where his abilities and attitudes are denigrated or rejected by other people. Inferiority complex is a magnification of natural feelings of inferiority and results when strivings to overcome inferiority are greatly hindered. Anything in the individual that is below the average, or gives him a feeling of impotency or ineptitude leads to inferiority complex. Adolescents who consistently fail or repeat classes are found to develop inferiority complex and a non progressive attitude towards school and peers
