Social+Changes+95

Social changes in boys While boys go through puberty they change emotionally, physically and socially. Social changes in boys are when social (how boys interact with others) changes happen. This might mean that boys become shy or might become really outgoing (like want to go out all the time). This also happens in girls.

When going through puberty these are some of the effects for social changes:

Feeling awkward: feeling awkward is when you are at a time or place when you are uncomfortable this might happen when you are (in a boys case) speaking to a girl or for a girl visa versa or someone important and you both stop waiting for the other to reply.

Needing to belong or to fit in: This when boys try to show off to fit in because they realise that if they want friends for life they need to fit in to a group that is popular.

Needing to establish a separate identity from parents and family : This is when boys think that they are independent and don’t want to do anything with you anymore. This is not true but because they still need you to do the unnoticeable things like cooking and teaching you sport.

Feeling easily embarrassed: This is when boys have something go wrong at a certain place at a certain time for example you might be having a sleepover and have a wet dream.

Feeling like everyone else is looking at you: This is when everyone is looking at you because you think you are the only one going through puberty but you are not.

Feeling safe in a group: This is because you can’t be embarrassed because you have a group with you that will back you up if any other person does something embarrassing to you.

When they want to look like peers: This change is when a boy or a girl wants to look like a peer or friend in their certain group.
