Every individual tends to experience difficult adolescence because this developmental period is typically characterized by mental turmoil, especially amid rapid changes in current social, cultural and economic conditions. The purpose of this research was to explore how much gender can explain the mental health status of adolescents in terms of their emotional and behavioural problems. Participants in this research were 237 adolescents aged 15-18 years in Pamekasan, which were selected using simple random sampling. Designed as descriptive quantitative research, the data showed that the majority of male and female adolescents demonstrated a fairly serious level of conduct disorder. Meanwhile, in terms of emotional problems, the difficulties faced by the majority of male and female adolescents pertained to peer problems. These empirical findings point to the importance of solving male and female adolescents’ emotional and behavioural problems, to help them have adequate mental health.
