The study aimed to examine the experiences of adolescents during middle adolescence stage, with a focus on coping strategies and other general challenges in various institutions such as family, school, economics and community. Using qualitative design and transcendental approach, the researcher interviewed seven adolescents from Cabuyao Integrated National High School Senior High School through snowball sampling. Similarities among adolescents emerged most especially relating to family dynamics where they often felt misunderstood or marginalized specifically about their identity which was made worse by academic pressure due to the pandemic. Moreover, changes in friendship patterns and other relationships contributed to their problems including financial difficulties that led them into feelings of shame and a lack of desire for help. Nevertheless, despite these hardships, adolescents used diverse ways of adaptation such as focusing on education while dealing with inner turmoil indicating that supportive relationships are crucial for resilience. In conclusion, adolescents struggle with feeling of being misunderstood by their families, which are also made worse by academic stress as well as changing friendships. Financial issues are another hindrance to this particular group from seeking help. Still, adolescents show that they can cope even through the hardest periods using different strategies and this confirms that they need support from others in order to deal with problems. These recommendations embrace encouraging open dialogue among family members, availing counseling services and stress management programs at schools, creating curricula on healthy relationships, offering financial aid and increased exposure to mental health resources including positive role models during difficult times for teenagers. These measures will help young people face middle adolescent turbulences and develop emotionally sustainable lifestyles.
