What are some personal problems (and their solutions) of adolescence?In reference to "Hamlet."

Like most of Shakespeare's work, "Hamlet" presents several
adolescent problems that could be considered universal.  It is difficult to tell from
your question if you seek the solutions that are presented in the play, or in general. 
It sounds like this is a brainstorming exercise that may lead to a compare/contrast
essay.

Despite the fact that both Mel Gibson and Kenneth
Branaugh were well into their 30s when they played fairly famous
roles in Hamlet movies, keep in mind that in the original text of the play, we have to
assume Hamlet is likely of adolescent age.  Aside from his childish behavior (at times),
it is known that he is still of school age, and is
unmarried.

Keeping this in mind, I encourage you to
brainstorm a list of the problems Hamlet experiences that are also common to other
adolescent lives.  Then, depending on the actual assignment, you can provide solutions
that Hamlet tries, or solutions that are common to kids of that
age.

To get you started, think about, then add to, the
following:

• Problems with dating relationships
  and basic communication with members of the opposite sex (ie:
  Ophelia).


• Problems with school friends and honesty (ie:
  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern).


• Problems with open, honest
  relationships with parents.


• Experiencing death of a
  parent at a young age.


• Experience the remarriage of a
  parent at a young age.
