PHYSICAL
DEVELOPMENT
When it comes to secondary sex traits, both boys and
girls go through specific stages of development.
These are male and female physical features that
have nothing to do with reproduction. Changes in
voice, body form, pubic hair distribution, and facial
hair are just a few examples.

MOTOR
DEVELOPMENT
They are capable of authoring books, short tales, and
proficient in sports, as well as keeping up with high
technology, such as the usage of cellphones, laptops,
and other electronic devices.

LANGUAGE
DEVELOPMENT
They have the ability to increase their vocabulary
and gain advanced language abilities rapidly. In both
their vocal and written remarks, they can utilize
complicated sentences.
Due to the kpop and anime industries' trends, they
are also possible to be multilingual.

COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Teens become increasingly capable of thinking about
and understanding abstract concepts such as
morality as they get older. They also gain a greater
understanding of others. Even if they have some
empathy and can realize that others have different
viewpoints, they typically feel that their own
viewpoints are the most accurate.

SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
Adolescents will begin to develop a variety of
relationships, with many of them becoming more
profoundly connected and emotionally intimate as
they mature. However, the prevalence of depressive
symptoms is on the rise, particularly among young
people aged 16 to 18, due to factors such as
schooling, friendships, love lives, and parental
situations.
