adolescents

Adolescents are individuals aged roughly 10 to 19 years old, experiencing significant physical, emotional, and social development. During this time, they go through puberty, which brings about bodily changes and heightened self-awareness. Mentally, they develop critical thinking skills, identity, and independence. Socially, relationships and peer influence become very important. Adolescence is a transitional period that prepares young people for adulthood, marked by exploration, growth, and sometimes, challenges as they navigate their changing roles and responsibilities.
