Don't.

Teenagers panic after seeing pimples on their faces.

Wait, hold on.

Why are we discussing about pimples?

Well, that is because it describes one of the most significant physical changes

in adolescents, and apart from this, the issue is common in both girls and.

Development of pimples and acne are very noticeable features of adolescents.

Again, the same question would pop up in our minds.

Why do these occur prominently during adolescents only?

The simplest reason is that during puberty, the activity of oil glands

and sweat glands is quite high.

Wait a second.

What exactly are these g?

The first ones called oil glands or even sebaceous glands, are those which

secrete an oily substance called sebum.

A mixture of various oils and vax axis is secreted by the sebaceous

glands present all over the body.

And what will be the use of the sebum?

It is meant to protect the skin and form a waterproof as well

as lubricating layer around it.

And what do the second type of gland function?

As the name suggests, sweat glands are known for secretion of sweat.

The main purpose of this is to maintain body temperature and

eliminate waste products to an extent.

If the secretions from these glands are good for us, then how can these

cause pimples and related problems?

Well, these secretions are good only in the required amount.

However, if the quantity of secretions exceed the required amount, then

they definitely cause problems.

This is what exactly happens during puberty.

Since these glands secrete excessive sebum and other oils, it results in the

extra amount to ooze out of the skin.

However, the skin pours usually get clogged with the extra

oil, and these clogs result in the pimples or acne on the.

These were some commonly observed changes that come with adolescents.

However, we have not yet discussed the most important physical

change in every adolescent.

Yes.

I'm referring to the development of sex organs.

Wait a second.

Are we saying that these organs developed during only.

The reproductive organs, which are also referred to as the Go

Nats are present since birth, but developed completely during puberty.

And what does this imply?

It implies that the male or the female is now physically capable of reproducing.

So what exactly do we mean by development of the reproductive organs?

If we take the case of males, then the development of testes takes.

This is the site for production of male gamuts that is the sperms.

Similarly, in case of females, we find the development of reproductive

structures called ovaries.

These ovaries are the location where Excels, that is the OV are produced.

That is the reason why we say that puberty is a stepping stone towards adulthood.

But are the changes during adolescents limited to the physical ones?

Of course.

We have seen that the changes during puberty will include mental,

intellectual, and emotional ones as well.

So what exactly will happen in this case?

In order to understand this, we need to take help of the theory

put forth by the famous German American psychologist, Eric Erickson.

In his theory, the stage of adolescence is bestowed with the

title identity versus role confusion.

Is the title self-explanatory?

Yes, it is.

It tells us what the adolescents go through.

Along with all the physical changes, adolescents experience many changes

in their thinking patterns as well.

They can grasp and learn things better, and they usually

understand emotions better psychologically, they start behaving.

I.

At this stage, many of them find themselves confident enough to

take a few decisions as well.

So as per the theory, individuals during adolescents either turn successful

while searching their own identity and their responsibilities, or become

totally confused as to what exactly is happening with them in life.

We know that every individual is.

Similarly, characters seen in adolescents right from physical

changes to the mental development are subjective to each individual.

In simple words.

Adolescents is an H, just like wet clay.

You can mold yourself into the most appropriate form, but for this,

all you need is good morals, the right direction, and an elderly

guide to lead you to the correct.

With this, we come to an end of the topic changes occurring during adolescence.

So what next?

In the next video, we have to learn about the concept of development

of secondary sexual characters.
