Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Adolescence comes with its fair share of changes, many of which can sometimes worry parents; these transformations can be physical, psychological, emotional, sexual, etc.

Explanation:

PHYSICAL CHANGES

The physical transformations observed during adolescence are, in most cases, the result of hormonal changes as the teenager’s body is transformed from child to adult. This phase, called puberty, starts between the ages of 9 and 16 and usually ends between the ages of 18 and 22. Puberty occurs at different times for everyone. The sexual hormones are responsible for these physical changes; a boy’s body produces more testosterone while a girl’s body produces more estrogen.

Physical changes observed in both girls and boys include growth spurts, increased perspiration, acne problems and appearance of pubic and underarm hair.

HERE ARE A FEW OTHER EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL CHANGES IN BOYS:

broader shoulders and chest;

voice changes;

appearance of hair (chest, arms, face);

development of genital organs;

first erections.

AND GIRLS:

development of breasts;

first menstruations;

broader hips.

In general, the first signs of puberty appear earlier in girls than in boys.
