What are the important changes in the life of an adolescent?

Why do you think adolescence needs are important?
Adolescence is a very vital period that will determine how a person will view and interact with the world as an adult. It is important to provide adolescents with opportunities to make independent decisions and take healthy risks, such as taking on a part-time job or trying out for a new sport.

What are the changes that take place in adolescence?
The cognitive or mental, changes that take place in early adolescence may be less easy to see, but they can be just as dramatic as physical and emotional changes. During adolescence, most teens make large leaps in the way they think, reason and learn.
What do young people learn during their adolescence?
Adolescents will learn to share intimacy without feeling worried or inhibited. Move toward a more mature sense of themselves and their purpose. Question old values without losing their identity. During adolescence, young people go through many changes as they move into physical maturity.
How are values and beliefs developed in adolescence?
Acquiring a set of values and an ethical system as a guide to behavior; developing an ideology. Adolescents gain the ability to think abstractly and to visualize possible situations. With these changes in thinking, the adolescent is able to develop his or her own set of values and beliefs.
Why is it important for adolescents to have privacy?
Adolescents most often need privacy to understand the changes taking place in their bodies. Ideally, they should be allowed to have their own bedroom. If this is not possible, they should have at least some private space. Teasing an adolescent child about physical changes is inappropriate. It may lead to self-consciousness and embarrassment.
