The physical changes of adolescents.

 Although some of the physical changes that happen during adolescence are internal and not visible, others can be seen easily by others. These obvious changes in the body can affect how adults and peers of both sexes view and treat young people. 

Changes in female

Females will see changes in where fat appears on their body. For example, breasts become fuller and hips grow wider. Females typically experience their first menstruation (or period) during adolescence. Early on, periods can be irregular and affected by illness, stress, and even exercise.

Changes in male

Males’ shoulders become broader and their muscles get bigger. The penis and testicles also grow, and males will begin to experience erections and ejaculations, both voluntary and involuntary (sometimes happening while asleep). Males’ voices also deepen during this time and may crack during the shift.

2. Encourage adolescents to have a positive view of their bodies. 

3. Help adolescents eat well.

4. Get active with adolescents. 

5. Teach adolescents to avoid drugs.

6. Make sure adolescents get enough sleep.
