puberty begins
Most boys begin varying from
11-13 years oldPhysical Development
12-16 years
Sleep Schedule is naturally shifted
to a later time. At this age, it is difficult
to stay awake early in the morning and
as a result, it is harder to sleep at the
"usual" sleeping times back as a child.
This is absolutly normal and many adolescence
struggle with this sleeping dilemma.Physical Development
Change in body composition.
Around this time, my body starts to
grow differently and as a result, my
body responds differently as well. For most
boys, the muscle to fat to ratio is approximately
3:1. For females, it is more closer to a 5:4 ratio.Physical Development
This did not involve me but my childhood friend
goes through anoerexia. Anoerexia is quite common
at this time. This happens to 1 percent of women
and it is quite common at this time. I was concern for her health and
it was apparent that she was trying to seek approval
from the peers. She eventually got past this phase
but i remember how surreal the entire experience was.Cognitive Development
Imaginary Audience-
I remeber slipping in the hallways my
freshmen year and I was beyond embarassed.
I could have sworn that EVERYONE say what went down
While it was a lot of people, teens normally at this age
beleive that an imaginary audience is always watching
them and that they are always there to point out
my mistakesCognitive Development
Personal Fable
While it is true that other people have been
through what I am going through, the effect
of persojnal fable means that I believe that I am
unique and no one else has ever encountered
what I am going through. This was when I chose
to end playing basketball competitivelty and I
knew that it was going to be hard to drop what
became a part of me at that time. I could of sworn no
else has encountered this but obviouslty this
isn't true.Socio-Emotional Development
I decide to take more risk at this age.
The TED talk that goes into detail about the
adolescent brain brings the idea of the Limbic
system. The Limbic system is described as finding
joy from taking risk. During the period of adolescence,
the Limbic System is hypersensitive to risk taking.
This is the primary catalyst for doing more wild
events as a teenager. I almost jumped out of
a speeding car. Don't ask why.Socio-Emotional
BIckering
As petty as it sounds, the amount of bickering
at this time in my adolescent was at an all time high.
I would normally bicker towards my parents
but this is nothing unusual. Bickering normally
involves repeatedly complaining about petty
issues and most of it is a little bit useless looking
back on it. My adolescence have a spike in
bickering at this time and so many others.Non Normative
While society ranks males to be better than
females in math and science, I actually thought
otherwise. While, I was not bad myself, there
was a girl in my class that was always superior
to my abilities to math and science and I thought
the females ran the "food chain" in science.
This only motivated to work harder in this
field.
