Adolescence is the period between childhood and young adulthood. Your body will change in shape and height. Your brain will grow and you’ll have improved self-control and  reasoning skills. Physical changes are different for everyone, so you don’t need to feel  embarrassed or frustrated! You’ll experience emotional changes as well. You’ll feel you want more (4) independence and responsibility. You may become more self-aware, and care about other people’s opinions, especially those of your friends. But remember you’ll need adult support and guidance to make  informed decisions and overcome stress.
