The present paper throws light upon those aspects of a human-being, which if handled carefully can lead one to a more fulfilling, conducive and wholesome life. Assertiveness is one such survival skill, which, if taught and instilled at the right time and in the right manner can save many from rating their lives as unfulfilling. Assertiveness teaches one to respect oneself and respecting others at the same time. It teaches one towards increased awareness of personal rights and paying attention to one's verbal as well as non-verbal skills also. At the same time, not violating the rights of others is the other side of an assertive individual. Social Anxiety and Self-efficacy are two such variables, which are directly related to Assertiveness, the former negatively and the latter positively. High Social Anxiety and Low Self Efficacy are two such obstacles, which can put hindrance in the growth of an individual in a multidimensional way-Emotionally, Behaviourally and Socially.Keywords

In today's world ,adolescence is a time of changes, exploration, and youth searching along with the time of worry and problems. The emotional intelligence represents a capacity of control and self-control over stress and negative emotions. Emotional intelligence is a potential risk factor in behavioral problems in adolescence years and the lack of balanced development of emotional intelligence in adolescents could be associated with a variety of internalizing and externalizing problem behavior. Beliefs play an essential role in human beings' life. Irrational beliefs are unrealistic reasoning process by which external events are interpreted and through which emotional distress is mediated. The effects of irrational beliefs are widespread, i.e., it is not limited to academic environment but spreads to other areas viz., social and personal. REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) is being considered a comprehensive intervention that incorporates cognitive restructuring with emotions and behavioral application & recently introduced into classroom setting with adolescents. Rational emotive education (REE) is a preventive interventional mental health program through which children and adolescents can learn positive mental health concepts & social emotional skills. Rational emotive approaches aim at making irrational beliefs into rational ones, increasing the social emotional skills and enhancing self-esteem of adolescents. The inclusion of the focus on emotional intelligence as part of curriculum could lead to a variety of positive personal, social and societal outcomes. The present paper, highlighting the affective and emotional factors, focuses on the rational emotive approaches applied particularly to the problems of adolescents. The research on REE would help the policy makers and counselors to prepare appropriate counselling programs and workshops which will provide the preventive & intervention strategies in order to help adolescents reduce their irrational beliefs.Keywords
