Abstract:
Adolescence is a period of significant physical, cognitive, and social change, during which various challenges can affect wellbeing. Understanding adolescents' own perceptions of wellbeing is crucial for developing effective support strategies. This study explores how Norwegian adolescents conceptualize their wellbeing. Using a qualitative design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 adolescents aged 16-19 years, and the data are analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that wellbeing is viewed as multidimensional, encompassing physical health, social relationships, academic performance, and personal growth. Family support and community engagement emerge as central to promoting adolescents' wellbeing. The study provides valuable insight into how young people in Norway define and experience wellbeing, emphasizing the need to integrate their perspectives into policies and interventions aimed at supporting adolescent development and mental health.
