Physical or Physiological Changes

You started to experience various body changes

when you were around 13 years old, which is the
onset of adolescence for most children. You can
notice physical changes in your sex organs, which are
your primary sex characteristics.

FOR BOYS FOR GIRLS

 Testes or gonads rapidly grow  Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and

bigger vagina, grow rapidly during
 Penis grows markedly puberty
 There’s a production and release  MENARCHE – the first menstrual

 Voice becomes husky melodious voice
 Muscles markedly grow and give  Hips become wider and rounder
shape to their torso.  Breasts develop
 Body hair appears.  Pubic and body hair appear

Both boys and girls experience markedly rapid physical development because of the
hormonal changes that take place in the body. Androgens and estrogens are hormones
or chemical substances produced by endocrine glands that actively affect physical growth
and development.

As more physical changes take place among adolescents, their concern about physical
appearance may also increase. On the other hand, you need to remember that it is
understandable to get affected by these body changes. To be able to cope well during this
stage, you need to make some adjustments – on how you view the things that are happening
inside and outside your body.

Cognitive Changes and Their Implications

Have you ever asked yourself how and why you think the way you do right now? During
adolescence your brain goes through significant structural development stages as well. At this
stage, the neurons in the corpus callosum thicken and connect the left hemisphere and the
right hemisphere of your brain, making the brain process information faster and more
effectively.

Development is also observed in

prefrontal cortex, which is
involved in decision-making,
reasoning, and controlling one’s
emotions.
Likewise, amygdala, the seat of
your emotions such as anger,
sadness, and happiness, matures
much earlier than the prefrontal
cortex.

According to Jean Piaget, an adolescent’s

cognitive ability for abstraction and advanced
reasoning is a characteristic of the formal
operation period that he explained in his theory
of cognitive development. This means that you
can now follow clear logic and reason.

Further, teenagers begin thinking more often about process of thinking itself or
metacognition. This results in increased introspection, but may also lead to some sort of
egocentrism or preoccupation with the self. Moreover, cognitive development during this
stage is characterized by thinking which is not anymore limited to a single scope; rather,
thinking means looking at a situation through more complicated lenses and seeing them
as relative. The lack of clear-plans or fast-changing decisions prods a teenager to engage
in risky behaviors such as cutting classes, cheating, smoking and/or drugs, drinking
alcoholic beverages, lying, computer game addiction, and stealing.

Psychological or Emotional
Changes and Their Implications

As a transition period, adolescence has often been described as

period of “storm and stress.” Teenagers like you experience a lot of
emotional ups and down.

Emotional maturity should be achieved by the end of adolescence.

One indicator that you have finally attained emotional maturity is
when you know how to express your emotions in a socially
acceptable manner. Another important indicator is when you face
15difficult situations. You exercise critical thinking before being
emotionally carried away. These realizationsRevised

Social pressures and demands add to stress and storm of the

adolescence years. You need to make social adjustments to
overcome challenges.

- Attitude, speech, appearance, and behavior are heavily

influenced by your peers.
- You prefer fewer friends and intimate relationships.
- You become curious about relationship with the opposite sex.
- You begin to look for a relationship wherein you are comfortable
in sharing your feelings and experiences.
