Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Adolescence which can also be referred as teenage years, is that period of human growth which takes place between childhood and adulthood. There are three stages of adolescence
- Early Adolescence
- Middle Adolescence
- Late Adolescence
Each of these stages has distinctive traits of its own. According to The World Health Organization (WHO) a person between the age of 10 and 19 years is referred as an adolescent. The definition provided by the WHO for young people which is in the range of 10 and 24 years falls within this group.
Adolescence reflects spurt in growth and puberty changes. An adolescent person may show growth during the initial stages after which it is accompanied by a period of slow growth and then once again a spurt in growth.
Gradually there are changes in puberty which is accompanied by several visible signs. There is a wide range of variation in terms of changes during this period. Some youngsters may encounter these changes (maturity) later or earlier than others.
