The last physical stage of human life
is death (occurs at various ages,
depending on the person)
 Now, are you interested in knowing what
you have undergone or what is undergoing right
now in you as an adolescent?
 Adolescence typically describes the years
between ages 13 and 19 and can be considered
the transitional stage from childhood to
adulthood. 
However, the physical and psychological
changes that occur in adolescence can start
earlier, during the preteen years (ages 9 through
12).
 Adolescence can be a time of both
disorientation and discovery. This transitional
period can bring up issues of independence and
self-identity; many adolescents and their peers
face tough choices regarding schoolwork,
sexuality, drugs, alcohol, and social life. Peer
groups, romantic interests, and appearance
tend to naturally increase in importance for
some time during a teen's journey toward
adulthood.
 As a result of these changes, there are a
few things you have to face.

 Youhave to handle your sexually maturing

body that gives rise to strong sexual urges.
 You
have to control volatile and powerful
emotions.
 Youhave to deal with immense peer
pressure.
 Youhave to decide on how you are going to
respond to the temptation of tobacco,
alcohol, and drugs
 Youhave to figure out how to get through
school.
/
 You have to begin to plan your future.
