Young people are constantly plagued by personal, academic, or family influences. Sometimes these influences are positive, while other times the influences are negative. The consequences of negative influences are the strange decisions that young people make to avoid a growth process without problems for them. Counseling and counseling services in universities should help young people overcome these challenges, mainly in an academic environment, regardless of how they look.
