When adolescence begins

The stage of adolescence starts from the age of 10 in most children, although in some it may be delayed. In order to define it as such, a series of behaviors and physical and cognitive changes. All this will begin that period and will begin when that stage of childhood is overcome.

Within adolescence we can classify a series of periods that conclude how is this stage evolving. While we know an adolescent child can be understood between 10 and 17 years old, and a boy who is already 18 years old, even if he becomes an adult, will always have the status of an adolescent.

What is early adolescence like?

It is that stage where puberty begins and where children experience multiple changes. Perhaps the change begins with your cognitive changes and the physical changes come later, or vice versa. What is clear is that when their bodies they begin to experience their changes everything else develops accordingly.

What changes do they experience in adolescence? Generally the physical, mental and emotional changes they begin between the ages of 13 and 15. Girls start with their period or menstruation, they have an increase in their breasts and a widening of the hips. Boys begin to develop a change in their testicles and penis and to develop much more muscle. Among all these changes coincide in a increase in stature, in the change of body odor, in the development of acne and the boys the walnut appears in the throat and the growth of facial hair.

Psychological changes they are also important. They begin to experience a change in their mood, where some begin to create rebellion. Others may become unstable, misunderstood and they can become isolated. They feel pressured to make decisions and responsibilities and hence the growth discrepancies with adults and family. Love or passion also appears in another way much more erotic-affective and they begin to have platonic loves.

Middle adolescence

Adolescents continue to grow and women are beginning to have regular periods. They're in a stage between 14 and 17 years old. They continue to have physical changes and they begin to grapple with their sexual identity.  They begin to explore their bodies and to want to be intimate and romantic.

Your brain keeps changing and maturing and that is a constant struggle for them. The frontal lobes of your brain are the last to mature and are the ones with the coordination and decision making decision. Hence, it is one of the parts that makes teenagers wear a continuous struggle with its environment and argue with your parents.

They have the ability to think abstractly, but they are not able to apply their responsibilities because they think that they are not too important. From the age of 18 on, these teenagers they have already completed their growth. They already control their impulses much more and know how to make important decisions that do not lead to irresponsibility.

When does a teenager grow up as a responsible person?

In adolescence, these boys are identified as adult people already responsible for their actions, but there are many disagreements on this type of opinion. If it is true that in one of its more advanced stages they may already head some terms, such as responsible, judicious people and that better govern their emotional state. But while they are entering adolescence there is still a long way to go to meet all these terms.


An adolescent may come to bear his little responsibility when they are already over 25 years old, Meanwhile, there are years where he has to make up for that rise and has to be cared for and cared for with affection. In many cases that boy does not evolve accordingly because his family connection does not allow it and that affects their psychosocial progress. Overprotection is one of the factors that slows down this progress, lengthening their adolescence much more.
