At what age does the adolescent period begin?
Previously, the transition age was called "adolescence" and lasted from 12 to 17 years. In our country, these norms have been preserved to this day. From the age of 12 to 14, this is the early adolescence, and from 15 to 17, it is late.
So the adolescent period covers the period of life from 12 to 17 years. In other states, this calculation varies somewhat depending on the terrain, the creed of citizens and their traditions. For example, in southern countries, it begins already in 10 years, while in others it ends only in 19 years.
Teenage period in boys
In boys, the age of transition, although it coincides with the girl's official, but in real life begins later. Approximately at the age of 13-15 years, representatives of the male half of humanity begin to change the timbre of the voice, the first rare bristle on the face appears.
The hairline gradually grows on the legs, under the arms and in the groin, the chest becomes wider and occasionally during sleep, involuntary ejaculation occurs, which is normal.
The development of the child during adolescence is very active not only physically, but also psychologically. Right now there are skirmishes with parents who do not understand juvenile maximalism . Adults should try to find the child's points of contact - hobbies, leisure, to become his teacher and not another.
Adolescence in girls
To the peculiarities of the adolescent period, girls can include weight gain due to adipose tissue, which makes the forms round and feminine. It occurs approximately in 14-16 years, already after the menstruation begins (12-13 years), although the future woman will be completely formed only by 20-22 years.
The risks and dangers of the adolescent period include a strong desire for self-affirmation, often in completely unacceptable ways. Under the influence of friends right now, girls start smoking, trying alcohol and having sex.
To avoid such problems, it is necessary, before the onset of adolescence, to establish a trusting relationship with the daughter. It is not necessary to categorically resist the manifestation of the adolescent's individuality, which is expressed in the desire to make a tattoo, piercing or spending time with friends and then without feeling a rigid framework, the teenager will not actively seek to break out of them.
