When a child goes through puberty, many changes occur emotionally, physically and socially. One of these changes is related with the social life of a child. When a child starts to go through puberty, he/she slowly starts to become more independent, doing most of their stuff by themselves and spending more time with their friends or in private. Their thinking also starts to change and they like having more freedom and being able to make their own decisions on what to do, often this results to fights with parents, these fights are normal and usually happen between parents and a teenager. Often a teenager will find it embarrassing to be seen around with their parents; also a teenager will get embarrassed about small things very quickly. A lot of the time, a teenage girl would think that people are looking at her and would usually want to dress better or go with the fashion, most of the time. How a teenage girl dresses is influenced by what her friends wear or what they tell her is 'cool'. This sort of thing doesn’t happen with boys on a large scale. In some cultures, there is a coming of age ceremony for boys or girls when they become a teenger. For Jewish boys, a large celebration called a 'bar mitzvah' is held when they turn 13 (during this time they will be going through puberty).
