​ //Emotional Changes//

During the stages of puberty, many emotional changes can occur in both sexes. These changes will probably give the teenager quite a shock, so we are going to try to explain them so that this doesn't happen.

As the teenager's body is rapidly changing, he/she will have to deal with all the changes and the newfound responsibilities. This can lead to the teen feeling extremely self concious (especially around the opposite sex) and embarrased if they look different to their friends or are developing slower or faster than their friends.

Frustration can often occur if the teen is waiting for their body to develop so they can get the characteristics they want, such as bigger muscles or strength.

Mood swings are another side effect of puberty, they are an abrupt release of hormones that can change how you think and affect your perception of rational decisions. They are only a temporary imbalance that will settle down in no time at all.

Energy changes happen as well, because of the fast physical growth, you can have endless energy one moment, and then tired and weary the next. Main Page
