including changes in height, weight, and the development of secondary
sexual characteristics. These physical changes often impact an
adolescent's self-image and how they are perceived by others.

fluctuations due to hormonal changes and increased brain development.
They may exhibit mood swings, heightened sensitivity, and a search for
independence
