 * __Back to Emotional Changes

Male Changes__** In the emotional stage of puberty, the differences between the development between boys and girls do not differ greatly, however, it is greatly influenced by the environments they are exposed to, the problems they face and the support they have. This can be considerably different between the two genders.

For example, a girl may have to develop differently as she generally has more support from her friends, however, girls are more likely to express their emotions, so they would also need to develop the maturity to be able to talk about important matters with some degree of contribution.

Boys however, often get less support from their friends, so need to develop a stronger ability to be able to deal with their emotions, this may seem an old stereotype, that boys can not express themselves, but it is within the male mindset that their problems are their own, and solely to be dealt with without assistance.

The reason for this is that males have a general mentality that they are better able to deal with their emotional changes on their own, they are also often to afraid to make themselves seem vunerable by expressing themselves.
