    CHAPTER VIII

    Adolescence

    A. READING

    What are physical changes in adolescence?


    As children develop into adolescence, they go through physical, emotional and cognitive
    changes. Their physical changes occur first, making them appear adult-like, yet there are still
    emotionally immature. Aside from acne and increase in body odor, the most prominent physical
    changes that occur to adolescence are the maturing of the genital organs, or puberty. Although the
    timing of puberty varies a great deal between adolescence, as a rule, girls develop earlier than boys.
    The onset of menstrual marks the beginning of puberty for girls. Once a girl begins
    menstruating regularly, she is capable of reproduction. Other physical changes girls go through
    include an increase in body hair, the emerge of breast tissue and rapid growth. The average age for
    puberty girls is 12,5 years old. Girls who mature earlier tend to feel awkward around their less
    developed friends and might feel inhabited from playing sports. In addition, they might be mistaken
    for an older woman and thrust into situation to which they aren’t emotionally ready. On the other
    hand, girls who mature late worry whether their body functioning normally or no.
    As opposed to girls, boys enter puberty gradually, not as a result of single event. The physical
    changes in boys-between the ages of 13 and 17 include rapid growth, an increase in body and facial
    hair, developing sexual organs and undergoing voice changes. In addition, as boys develop sexually,
    they release nocturnal emissions. The average age for boys to enter puberty is 14 years old. Boys who
    mature earlier are looked upon as leaders as well as athletes, since they obtain increase muscle
    strength and speed at a younger age. On the other hand, boys who mature late are often teased;
    however, this usually stops when they catch up to their peers, as they inevitably do.
