During Puberty a Teenager goes through various changes in the behavior of them emotionally. Some of these changes are listed and briefly described below; =====


 * 1) Anger Outbursts- As we start to experience the many changes of puberty we start to realize a change in our emotional behavior. Due to our hormones being released we may begin to have unexpected and uncontrollable out bursts of anger which we may not be able to explain.
 * 2) Overall Mood changes- During puberty you experience extreme emotions that use to be not normal(e.g.. Not having the spark in your day as you use to, Sudden out bursts of anger and the sudden dependence on piers rather than family) and even though you may not notice it your parents will definitely notice and may complain. Do not take much notice of this as this is not your true self. It is just the crazy hormones coming into action and there is nothing you can do about it.
 * 3) Sudden emotional changes-They also start to experience various, rapid emotional changes in a short period of time and in some situations can experience a very wide range of emotions.
 * 4) Sexual Emotional changes-As we start to go through puberty we start feeling things we have never felt before and start having sexual thoughts about one another and sometimes fell sexually aroused about people we find attractive. Again this is our hormones coming into action but his time it is our sexual hormones. We can see a change in this if we think back to kindergarten and we not that interested in girls, but as our hormones come into action this changes.
 * 5) Self Independence- As we mature and go through puberty we start to think for ourselves and do things for ourselves instead of relying on our parents to do stuff for us and we start to develop as an individual. Parents may worry about their children doing things by themselves at first but eventually it will become easy for them to just let go.

These and many other factors contribute to Emotional Changes during Adolescence.
