HealthPhoto: Deccan HeraldCBSE Curriculum Labels Curiosity and Rebellion as Risk Factors
The Central Board of School Education (CBSE) categorizes adolescent behaviors like boredom, rebellion, disorientation, peer pressure, and curiosity as factors leading to alcohol and drug use. This perspective shapes life-skills teaching in over 33,000 schools. While CBSE includes self-awareness and empathy in its curriculum, it frames natural adolescent exploration and questioning as risks rather than normal development stages.
