Adolescents and adolescence - Is the impact on teenagers excessive?

Current research questions whether the impact of adolescence on adolescents is as strong as once thought. Is the influence of adolescence exaggerated? Although adolescence does make some teenagers more sensitive than others, adolescence is a less noticeable event for adolescents.

Before we discuss this article further, let us agree on what is adolescence. This is a biological change experienced by children that leads to physical changes and emotional changes. It also includes the maturity of thinking and moral development, the way in which young people see themselves and others.

Although adolescence occurs in the astonishing early stages of children, adolescence usually begins between girls 8 and 13 years old, and boys 9 and 14 years old. If it occurs before the girl is 8 years old and the boy is 9 years old, it is considered early [premature] development. If adolescence has not started before the girl is 13 years old, and the boy is 14 years old, the puberty is delayed.

 It is breast sprouting and later breast development. This change is followed by pubic hair growth and arm hair. The first menstrual period [menarche] usually occurs around the age of 12. However, some girls have a faster menarche, especially among African American girls. There is a sudden increase in adolescence, and the girl will reach the final adult height in about two years after menarche. Also noted are weight gain and enlargement of the pelvic area. Adolescence, as a complete process, takes 3 to 4 years.

After puberty begins from

. The average age of puberty is about 11 years old. The first mentioned development is an increase in testicular size. This is followed by the growth of pubic hair, mane, arms, chest and face. Also noticed the deepening of the male voice. The increase in muscle mass, as well as the ability to erect and ejaculate [especially nighttime emissions, "wet dreams"] occur, and this and other sexual maturity processes occur over a span of three to four years.

Adolescence is also associated with adolescents, increasing perspiration, body odor and hemorrhoids. It is important for the reader to understand that the onset and progression of puberty may vary widely.

As with other human growth and development studies, stress may be related to physical changes, and puberty is no exception. But is the impact of adolescence exaggerated? Current research shows that the vast majority of adolescents respond effectively to these stresses. Among the many questions asked by hundreds of teenagers in my research [2010], several questions relate to their perceptions of adolescence. Let us "hear" what young people say.

Is the beginning of adolescence a problem for you?

1. yes - 2. no

Male: 1.7% - 2. 93%

Female: 1.7% - 2. 93%

Can you describe the arrival of adolescence?:

1. Come too early - 2. Average - 3. Too late

Male: 1.7% - 2. 91% - 3. 2%

Female: 1.18% - 2. 78% - 3. 4%

If adolescence is too early for you, will it cause unnecessary attention from peers /

Other people of the opposite sex?

1. yes - 2. no

Male: 1.26% - 2. 74%

Female: 1.58% - 2. 42%

Obviously, my teen sample, adolescence is not considered a problem of trouble, trauma or adolescence. Male and female respondents responded exactly the same.

More women reported that they thought that the time of puberty came earlier than men, the ratio was 2 to 1, and women thought that too early [premature] once again caused a problem for them, namely two one to one.

Most adults seem to have a negative perception of adolescent puberty and are concerned about the consequences of adolescence and quickly attribute the negative behavior of adolescents to the beginning of puberty.

Finally, recent research strongly suggests that the impact of adolescence on most adolescents is not as great as is widely believed. Of course, parents need to provide counseling for their children and prepare for the changes they are going to experience.
