Verbal abuse in educational institutions remains a pressing concern, with significant implications for students' mental health and academic performance. This study focuses on the prevalence and impact of verbal abuse by teachers in government universities, paying particular attention to its effects on female students, who were the primary respondents.

This article explores the vital connection between exercise and mental health, highlighting its role beyond physical fitness. Regular physical activity was found to strengthen the heart, activate muscles, and enhance cognitive clarity, while also releasing endorphins that improve mood, reduce stress, and lower the risks of anxiety and depression. The study emphasizes that even small lifestyle adjustments, such as walking or using stairs, can significantly contribute to well-being. Despite these proven benefits, sedentary routines and time constraints often limit participation in regular exercise. The findings call for lifestyle integration and institutional support to promote consistent physical activity. Ultimately, exercise emerges as a powerful tool for maintaining both physical strength and emotional resilience, underscoring the need for at least 30 minutes of daily activity to achieve long-term health and happiness.

Adolescence is a transformative period marked by significant physical, emotional, and social development. The quality of parental relationships during this stage plays a crucial role in shaping adolescents' emotional health, social skills, and overall well-being. This paper explores the impact of various aspects of parental relationships, including attachment styles, communication patterns, and exposure to parental conflict, on adolescent development. The analysis draws upon comparative insights from prior research to highlight the benefits of secure attachment, open communication, and constructive conflict resolution. The findings demonstrate that nurturing and supportive parental relationships promote resilience, self-esteem, and adaptive coping mechanisms in adolescents, while negative interactions can contribute to behavioral and emotional difficulties. This research underscores the importance of fostering positive parental relationships to support healthy adolescent growth and development.
