Özet: In recent times adolescents are unable to utilize their potential to the maximum due to inappropriate and debilitating environments. The resulting impacts caused are adverse and far-reaching; yet, most often this powerful correlation is overlooked or underestimated. It is a common sight to see adolescents become less confident, less motivated and engage in anti- social activities. It has been seen that Life skills acquired through direct life experiences and education can help students to cope with the demands of life. The world health organization has listed core life skills such as social, emotional and cognitive skills as paramount. These skills are capable of empowering students, especially those from low- socio- economic backgrounds.
