Mental and emotional changes during puberty in girls

Adolescence also brings about psychological changes in your emotions, desires, perceptions and imaginations. This is a period that separates you from your childhood and brings you new perspectives and skills to transition into adulthood. Certainly the help of your parents and those around you is a great way to successfully manage this time in your life. Don't worry if:

• You want to be alone some or most of the time
• You are irritable and bad-tempered for no reason
• Your moods change suddenly
• Trivial matters become important and valuable to you
• You think life is absurd and pointless
• You spend more time fantasizing and daydreaming
• You care a lot about your appearance and clothes
• You have become touchy and sensitive

These experiences are all part of most people’s adolescence. Everything is changing and you have to adapt to those changes.
