This study critically examines the problems of adolescent of secondary level students of Karachi. For this purpose, a critical review of existing literature was carried out. It is found that the main the problems of secondary level adolescent are disturbed personality syndrome, and it is due to the physiological and psychological changes they are experiencing at this stage. Psychological guidance and counseling is essential for students’ preparation of future life. Generally, it is assumed that specialist counselors are responsible to perform this task but if subject teachers are provided sound knowledge of psychological guidance and counseling, they can play this role more effective. Mix method research has been applied to conduct this research, and the population of the research was the teachers from private and public schools of Karachi. Purposive sampling was used to collect data. Data was collected through Survey method. A tailor-made questionnaire consisting closed ended questions for quantitative data collection and open ended questions for qualitative data was used. Data was analyzed and it was found that teachers were of the view that students feel convenient in sharing their personal and educational problems with their subject teachers. They were also of the view that teachers should include moral education in their daily lesson plan and should do regular assessment of the students to know their problems, and solve them proactively rather than reactively. Therefore, it is recommended that subject teachers should be provided in depth knowledge of educational psychology and be assigned the task to deal with the students accordingly.
