This study attempted to identify factors related to problems reported by adolescents. 250 secondary school Ss rank ordered 15 potential problems and also completed a self-disclosure inventory of adolescent concerns. Data were obtained on the Ss' sex, socio-economic status, school achievement, intelligence quotient, and grade. None of the variables considered were, to any significant degree, related to the problems reported by the Ss.
