CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE DURING ADOLESCENCE

Adolescence: the period when a child matures into an adult. Growth often takes place in spurts. Girls usually mature earlier than boys.

Physical Change: • Gain height and weight • More muscles and curves develop • Hair may get darker • Facial features become more defined (nose, chin, cheekbones, eyebrows, ) • Voice deepens • More oily skin (acne can be a problem) • Increased perspiration

Emotional Change: • Because of hormones, body changes, or growth spurts, you may be experiencing different moods and feelings. • Things may bother you that didn’t before. • You may feel out of control of your emotions and have rapid mood changes.

Intellectual Change: • Your mind is growing. • Interests are changing and you are expanding your horizons. • You change to abstract thinking, memory improves, and you question ideas more.

Social Change: • Peer pressure may be more obvious and more difficult to deal with. • Increased dependence on peers and decreased dependence on parents. • Taking on adult roles and identifying adult goals.
