Puberty(青春期) is the stage of life when young people leave childhood and head into adulthood. It is a difficult process for teenagers because it has an effect on both their minds and bodies. They need to understand what is going on with their bodies, how to deal with those changes and how to start taking responsibility for themselves.
A young person may reach puberty at 8, while another may not reach puberty until 14 or 15. In general, girls reach puberty about two years before boys do. For both girls and boys, it is usually complete by the age of 18.
During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feelings can also change quickly.
Teenage boys at this stage often take unnecessary risks. Their focus is on having fun and being accepted by others. They need to think before they act and make good decisions for themselves.
A girl’s personality does not often develop in the same way as a boy’s.
Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer certain about their own feelings. Yet they are usually afraid to tell their parents or teachers about their problems. For this reason, teenage girls should be encouraged to discuss things with trusted adults.
Parents, schools and communities can do a lot to care for and help young people. It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that young people grow into healthy adults.
1. Who need to think before they act and make good decisions for themselves?
2. Why is puberty a difficult process for teenagers?
3. What should teenage girls be encouraged to do?
4. Who/What can help young people grow into healthy adults?
5. Do you think it is necessary for teenage girls and boys to talk about their problems with others?
Why or why not?
