PUBERTY

INTRO

• Function
• Change
• Causation
• Responsibility

Central Idea:
Our well-being changes over time based on biological and external factors.

FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT BODY SYSTEMS

• The reproductive system will grow
• You will grow hair on your genitalia
• You will have erections where blood will flow into your penis

CHANGE OF PERSONAL, SOCIAL, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING

• You might be treated like a child when you feel like an adult
• Personal hygiene is very important during puberty, because people might reject you if you don’t have it
• Body odors will occur, but you can avoid them by showering 1 or 2 times a day
• Mood Swings are very normal during puberty

WHAT CAUSES PUBERTY

• Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone get released through the blood stream by a signal from the pituitary gland
• You might want to change your belief, your culture and maybe even your love interests

HOW WE CAN ADAPT RESPONSIBLY

• We could learn to adapt responsibly by practicing mindfulness and having empathy and tolerance for others if they’re experiencing it
• You might want to stand up for your friends
