Life After Puberty

What's Happening to My Body?

Psychological Changes (Mental Health)

Like your body, your mind is changing. You're getting a lot smarter, and you've learned a lot about how life works. As a kid, you may have heard the old "I'll tell you when you're older" brush-off. Now you ARE older, your mind is developing, and you use reason and experience to make decisions. You're starting to understand the bigger picture of life. This is important, as you've reached an age where you will have to start making decisions for yourself, and a lot of these decisions will affect your future. Your understanding of how you fit in your surroundings will help you make the choices that are best for you and your future.
