Adolescence is a time for rapid cognitive development. At this stage of development, there is a
decrease in egocentric thoughts, while the individual’s thinking takes more of an abstract form.

Defining Adolescence
Throughout life, growth hormones condition gradual increases in body size and weight.
Hormone Flooding during adolescence causes an acceleration known as growth spurt.
Growth spurts include a change in body dimensions (leg length, shoulder width, trunk length).
Spurt in height is ascribed to trunk growth rather than leg growth.
The Secular Trend is a phenomenon of more rapid physical maturation during this
century. In the 1800s, girls in industrial societies had their first menstrual period at age 15-17,
and age later in repressed societies. Today boys reach their maximum height at age 18-20 and

Adolescents are concerned about their body image sexual attractiveness how to do sex

identity but a number go through it with much confusion.
An adolescent’s sexual identity involves sexual orientation, activities, interests and styles

Self-Esteem
Sharing with the small group of past personal experience on physical and sexual
