= __Emotional Changes__ Back to main page = Boys and girls both experience drastic mood changes which includes them feeling moody, insecure especially about the way they look, being easily embarrassed. One minute they feel like they are flying high, the next they are angry or sad. When emotional stress arises, it is often the result of adolescents' conflicts with their parents. These conflicts frequently occur because adolescents are striving to make independent choices and do not agree with parents' requests and opinions as readily as they did when they were younger. Conversations about general household tasks and curfews can be potentially volatile, for instance, when a young person's desire to stay out late with his friends, conflicts with the parents' needs to make sure their child is safe and home at a reasonable hour. Although adolescents' conflicts over family issues can have emotional impacts, most emotional extremes have more to do with interactions with peers, especially romantic partners. These extreme feelings are connected to the adolescent's self-perceptions, sometimes producing feelings of worthlessness, strong joy and desire. Depending on the unique characteristics of the young person, the availability of parental support, and the amount and kind of stress in an adolescent's life, some teens are able to deal with difficult emotional situations, whereas others may find it difficult.
