Question

1 minute speech on adolescence

Answer 1

Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood The period of adolescence is most closely associated with the teenage years, though its physical, psychological and cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. For example, although puberty has been historically associated with the onset of adolescent development,it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescence, particularly in females Physical growth, as distinct from puberty and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties.

Answer 2

Adolescence typically describes the years between ages 13 and 19 and can be considered the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood.
Adolescence, these years from puberty to adulthood, may be roughly divided into three stages: early adolescence, generally ages eleven to fourteen; middle adolescence, ages fifteen to seventeen; and late adolescence, ages eighteen to twenty-one. The five leading characteristics of adolescence are biological growthand development, an undefined status, increased decision making, increased pressures, and the search for self.
