Adolescence is the phase of life

between childhood and

adulthood, from ages 10 to 19.
It is a unique stage of human
development and an important
time for laying the foundations of
good health. Adolescents
experience rapid physical,
cognitive and psychosocial
growth.
Adolescence is the period of
transition between childhood
and adulthood. It includes some
big changes—to the body, and to
the way a young person relates to
the world
Decisions about career, sex,
drugs and alcohol are usually
some of the toughest decisions
you will have to make as an
adolescent. Before you make
decisions, get facts about each
choice, think properly about
them, i.e. weigh the pros and
cons; and discuss available
options with your parents, a
trusted friend or adult.
