PSYCHOLOGICAL
CHANGES IN
ADOLESCENCE
In most boys, pubic and facial hair
begins to appear, and their voice
deepens. In girls, pubic hair
appears, breasts grow, and
menstruation begins. These changes
and how they are perceived by
others may be factors of concern for
them.
AGE THAT OSCILLATES ADOLESCENCE.

According to the general usage it receives

today, adolescence refers to a period of life
between the ages of 13 and 19. The World
Health Organization (WHO) has defined
adolescence as the period between 10 and 19
years of age and youth between 15 and 24
years of age.

ADOLESCENCE

IMPORTANCE:
Adolescence is a crucial stage in human development because it
involves significant physical, emotional and social changes.
During this phase, individuals explore their identity, establish
relationships, acquire autonomy and make decisions that will
affect their future. It is also a period when key aspects of
education, mental health and contribution to society can be
addressed. Adolescence is therefore critical to the growth and
preparation of individuals for adulthood.

 IMPORTANCE
Adulthood is a crucial stage in a person's life, marked by
personal development, independence and significant
decision-making. During this period, people acquire skills
and knowledge that enable them to contribute to society,
establish deep relationships, and take on family and work
responsibilities. In addition, adulthood is critical to the
economic growth and stability of a society, as adults are the
primary workforce and taxpayers. At the individual level,
this stage provides opportunities for self-realization,
emotional maturity and consolidation of long-term goals.

THE AGE THAT MARKS
ADULTHOOD

the adult stage is considered to begin after

adolescence, but there is no exact limit as to the
age at which it begins, as this can vary according
to different perspectives and approaches. Here I
will provide you with some common definitions
and benchmarks to understand when someone
can be considered to have entered the adult
stage
