Essay on brain adolescence
Answers
Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood (age of majority) . Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years,but its physical, psychological or cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. For example, puberty now typically begins during preadolescence, particularly in females. Physical growth (particularly in males) and cognitive development can extend into the early twenties. Thus, age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence.

Michelle, an eleven year old girl, enjoys the typical activities a girl her age would like to do. That is why I thought going to the mall with Michelle, her mother and her little brother would be a good idea. During our day at the mall and our talk after lunch, I was able to get an insight into her psychological development as a pre-teen. Not only was Michelle dealing with the transformation from childhood to teenage hood, but was also struggling with understanding her medical setbacks as a child. At age 3 Michelle’s parents found out that she was suffering from leukemia. This changed majority of Michelle’s childhood. By age 5 Michelle was free of her cancer and able to continue most her life normally. In reality, Michelle will never be able to live her life normally because she will always live the fact that she had an illness. Because Michelle had leukemia as a child, it seemed that her awareness of herself wasn’t the same as other girls her age.
A commonly known stereotype that is understood by most people is that women have lower self-esteem than men. Preteen girls are at a much greater risk than adults at being influenced by outside stimuli that can cause self-esteem to lower. I think that girls tend to have a harder time at the beginning of puberty, while boys have a harder time later in puberty. Research shows that “girls reported lower self-esteem than boys in early adolescence and late adolescent boys reported lower self-esteem than younger boys.”
