Adolescence involves major physical, psychological, and social changes occurring between the ages of 10-19 as individuals transition from childhood to adulthood. Puberty is characterized by hormonal changes that trigger physical maturation. During this stage, adolescents seek independence from parents and form strong peer relationships as they develop their identity and experience new emotions. Their brains are still developing skills for emotional regulation and complex decision making. Conflicts with family are common as adolescents push boundaries. Overall development is shaped by genes, environment, culture and experiences.

2.  Adolescence (fromLatin: adolesceremeaning "togrowup") is a transitional
stage ofphysical andpsychological humandevelopment that generally occurs
during the periodfrompuberty to legal adulthood (age of majority). The
periodof adolescence is most closely associatedwiththe teenage
years,[3][4][5][6] though its physical, psychological and cultural expressions may
beginearlier and endlater.

3. During adolescence, you’ll notice changes in the way
your child interacts with family, friends and peers.
Every child’s social and emotional development is
different. Your child’s development is shaped by your
child’s unique combination of genes, brain
development, environment, experiences with family
and friends, and community and culture.
Social and emotional changes show that your child is
forming an independent identity and learning to be an
adult.

4. PUBERTY
Puberty is a period of several years in which rapid physical
growth and psychological changes occur, culminating in sexual
maturity. The average onset of puberty is at 10 or 11 for girls and
age 11 or 12 for boys.[19][20][21] Every person's individual timetable
for puberty is influenced primarily by heredity, although
environmental factors, such as diet and exercise, also exert some
influence.[20][22][23] These factors can also contribute
to precocious anddelayed puberty.[10][23]
Some of the most significant parts of pubertal development
involve distinctive physiological changes in individuals' height,
weight, body composition,
and circulatory and respiratorysystems.[24] These changes are
largely influenced by hormonal activity. Hormones play an
organizational role, priming the body to behave in a certain way
once puberty begins,[25] and an activational role, referring to
changes in hormones during adolescence that trigger behavioral
and physical changes.

5.  Puberty occurs through a long process and begins with a
surge in hormone production, which in turn causes a number
of physical changes.[20] It is the stage of life in which
a childdevelops secondary sex characteristics (for example, a
deeper voice and larger adam's apple in boys, and
development of breasts and more curved and
prominent hips in girls) as his or her hormonal balance shifts
strongly towards an adult state. This is triggered by
the pituitary gland, which secretes a surge
ofhormonal agents into the blood stream, initiating a chain
reaction. The male and female gonads are subsequently
activated, which puts them into a state of rapid growth and
development; the triggered gonads now commence the mass
production of the necessarychemicals. The testes primarily
release testosterone, and the ovaries predominantly
dispense estrogen. The production of these hormones
increases gradually until sexual maturation is met. Some
boys may develop gynecomastia due to an imbalance of sex
hormones, tissue responsiveness or obesity.

6.  It can be hard to be the first or the last
one in your group to go through these
changes. While most young people
experience adolescence between the ages
of 11 and 16, you’ll find some experiencing
changes as early as age 9 or 10, and others
lagging behind until maybe 16 or 17. If
you’re one of these outliers, remember
that you’re the only one who can choose
to let this bother you. It all will even out
eventually.

7.  The formal study of adolescent psychology began with the
publication of G. Stanley Hall's "Adolescence in 1904."
Hall, who was the first president of the American
Psychological Association, viewed adolescence primarily
as a time of internal turmoil and upheaval (sturm und
drang). This understanding of adolescence was based on
two then new ways of understanding human
behavior: Darwin's evolutionary theory and
Freud's psychodynamic theory. He believed that
adolescence was a representation of our human ancestors'
phylogenetic shift from being primitive to being civilized.

8.  Adolescence and psychology
 Adolescence also comes with psychological changes. You’ll break
away from your parents a little bit more every day, changing
schools, learning to drive, developing new friends, staying up
later. . . . Each day brings new challenges, and challenges make
you feel more vibrant and alive.
 Many people may think that adolescence goes hand in hand with
the image of a sullen teenager. And it is true that the problems of
adolescence—worrying about how many zits are on your face,
when your period will visit you next or how to get the boy or girl
across the classroom to notice you—can be quite traumatic. But
the reputation for moodiness doesn’t have to be the reality. In
fact, most people enjoy their teenage years more than any other.
Although you may have worries, you also have a lot of thrills.
Firsts—be they your first car, first date, first kiss are very exciting.

9.  Peer groups are essential to social and general
development. High quality friendships may enhance
children's development regardless of the characteristics of
those friends. As children begin to gain bonds with various
people and create friendships with them, it later helps
them when they are adolescent. This sets up the framework
for adolescence and peer groups.[139] Peer groups are
especially important during adolescence, a period of
development characterized by a dramatic increase in time
spent with peers[140] and a decrease in adult supervision.

10. peer pressure is influence that a peer group, observers or
individual exerts that encourages others to change
their attitudes, values, orbehaviors to conform the
group norms. Social groups affected include membership
groups, in which individuals are "formally" members (such
as political parties and trade unions), or social cliques in
which membership is not clearly defined. A person affected
by peer pressure may or may not want to belong to these
groups. They may also recognize dissociative groups with
which they would not wish to associate, and thus they
behave adversely concerning that group's behaviors.

11.  searching for identity. Young people are busy
working out who they are and where they fit in
the world. This search can be influenced by gender,
peer group, cultural background and family
expectations
 seeking more independence. This is likely to
influence your decisions makes and the
relationships you have with family and friends
 seeking more responsibility, both at home and at
school
 looking for new experiences. The nature
of teenage brain development means that you are
likely to seek out new experiences and engage in
more risk-taking behaviour. But you are still
developing control over you impulses

12.  thinking more about ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. You will
start developing a stronger individual set of
values and morals. you will also learn that
you’re responsible for your own actions,
decisions and consequences. You will start
question more things.
 influenced more by friends, especially when it
comes to behaviour, sense of self and self-esteem
 You start to have romantic relationships or go on
‘dates’. These are not necessarily intimate
relationships, though. For some young people,
intimate relationships don’t occur until later on in
life.
 communicating in different ways. The internet,
mobile phones and social media can significantly
influence communication with peers and learning
about the world.

13. you will start showing strong feelings and intense
emotions at different times. Moods might seem
unpredictable. These emotional ups and downs can
lead to increased conflict. your brain is still learning
how to control and express emotions in a grown-up
way.
 youare more sensitive to your emotions. Young
people get better at reading and processing other
people’s emotions as they get older. While they’re
developing these skills, they can sometimes misread
facial expressions or body language

14.  You are more self-conscious, especially
about physical appearance and changes.
Teenage self-esteem is often affected by
appearance – or by how teenagers think
they look. As they develop, children might
compare their bodies with those of friends
and peers
 You go through a ‘bulletproof’ stage of
thinking and acting. Your decision-making
skills are still developing, and your are still
learning about the consequences of
actions.

15.  You want to spend less time with family and more
time with friends and peers
 You have more arguments with your family. Some
conflict between parents and children during the
teenage years is normal, as you seek more
independence. It actually shows that you are maturing.
Conflict tends to peak in early adolescence.
 You see things differently from your parents. This
is because you are beginning to think more abstractly
and to question different points of view. At the same
time, some teenagers find it difficult to understand the
effects of their behaviour and comments on other
people. These skills will develop with time.

17.  Find a group of people who make you
feel safe and accepted

18.  Realize that it is not acceptable to be angry all the
time. You need to learn how to control your anger or
you'll end up worse than what you think you'll end up
like while you're angry.

19.  Think about who you hurt when you're angry.
Yourself, those who care about you, and potentially the
person you're frustrated with.

20.  Think about someone who has been short tempered
with you at some time in your life - a family member, a
schoolmate, or anyone else. It's never pleasant to have
somebody upset or angry with you. Try to understand that
the other person is probablynot trying to tick you off. They
may be trying to tell you that you have done something
unacceptable. Or sometimes, they are just plain envious.

21.  Examine your feelings. What did that person do?
What do you feel must be done to "fix" the situation
so you can feel better? Walking away, telling who's
annoying you that they're upsetting or bothering you,
changing the subject or ignoring whatever is upsetting
you can all help.

22.  Do not take your anger out on other people or
yourself. If you really feel the need to express your
anger physically, punch your pillow or something
like that.

23.  Seek help if necessary. If you cannot get past your
anger and you start to plan on what you can do to
get even, this is a warning signal that your
problem is getting bigger than you.

24.  Read a book. Pick up a classic from your local library
and realize the potential for human thought and
intellect.
