[-1:23.00]A Reading     Growing Up
[-1:24.00]Leaving childhood andheading into adulthood
[-1:25.00]is a physical and emotional process for teenagers.
[-1:26.00]Growing up is difficult in terms of health as well.
[-1:27.00]As a teenager,you need to understand what is going on with your body,
[-1:28.00]how to handle those changes,
[-1:29.00]and how to start taking responsibility for your own health.
[-1:30.00]Puberty is a mysterious word.
[-1:31.00]Upon pronunciation,it almost sounds embarrassing.
[-1:32.00]But it is really nothing to be shy about.
[-1:33.00]After all, everyone goes through it.
[-1:34.00]A young person may begin development at 8 years of age,
[-1:35.00]while another may not show signs of development until 14 or 15.Generally,
[-1:36.00]girls tend to enter puberty two years ahead of boys.
[-1:37.00]For both sexes,puberty is usually complete by age 18.
[-1:38.00]During these years,your voices deepen,
[-1:39.00]pimples grow and many other physical changes happen.
[-1:40.00]Your emotions also see-saw as you ride the wave of adolescence.
[-1:41.00]Part of the ride may have something to do with your hormones;
[-1:42.00]whereas the other part may come from your changing relationships
[-1:43.00]with your parents and friends,or pressure from peers.
[-1:44.00]Puberty is important for all boys and girls
[-1:45.00]It may greatly influence personality development,particularly for girls.
[-1:46.00]Research findings show that adolescent girls
[-1:47.00]sometimes undergo a significant drop in self-confidence.
[-1:48.00]They may feel uncertain and insecure about their own judgement and emotions
[-1:49.00]Yet they are usually reluctant to tell their parents and teachers
[-1:50.00]about their feelings.
[-1:51.00]Therefore,adolescent girls
[-1:52.00]should be encouraged to discuss things with trusted adults
[-1:53.00]to cope with such natural developmental difficulties
[-1:54.00]in their personal and school life.
[-1:55.00]Good advice at the right time can lead to positive and productive results.
[-1:56.00]Boys, at this stage,
[-1:57.00]should also start to learn how to make sensible decisions for themselves.
