Emotional changes:
Throughout puberty many emotional changes happen to both boys and girls. Boys: Frustration is a very noticeable characteristic of emotional change. It often ties in with mood swings as you may be happy one minute and be totally stressed and frustrated the next. Because puberty is usually associated with high school and high school is associated with stressful situations such as exams and classes, emotional changes are shown clearly between friends and teachers. Ego is associated with self esteem and this can be lost and damaged through bullying, poor results in classes and exams, popularity, sporting ability etc. it is important to keep up ego and to pick yourself up if you ever feel down, as once this is done better results may occur next time and you should learn from your mistakes. How well you do at school is very important so learning how to control, gain and maintain ego is a very important thing to learn. Your looks and physical capabilities are not as important as academic status but are still things that you may wish to include in your lifestyle. Girls: Going through puberty, girls can become quite short tempered and have extreme mood swings. This can be seen as weird by their friends and can lead to social exclusion so controlling your temper is important. Crying easily is common amongst girls in social and alone scenarios. This can be over anything that has happened to them whether it be relationships with boys, popularity levels, fashion, provision to go to parties ect. Girls very easily pick role models that they follow but it is common that these choices may change over and over again. Feeling like an adult one minute and wanting to be a child the next is common and is tied in with crying easily, peer pressure and role models. Growing up as both a boy and a girl is a highly emotional rollercoaster that can make you feel good and bad but in the end you will be thankful that you had learned from adolescence, as it is something that you carry through life and learn from along the way.
