Early Adolescent Growth

Children who are aged 12 or 13 years up to 19 years are in the growth experienced during adolescence. Including the period of adolescence are critical because at this age children experience many changes in the psychic and physical. Mental changes cause confusion among teens so this period is called by the west as a period of Sturm und drang. Why because they experienced turbulent emotions and mental pressure so easy to deviate from rules and social norms prevailing in society.
There are also psychologists who think of adolescence as a transition from childhood into adulthood and lasts for about 10 years, is times when the child no longer wants to be treated again as children, but visits from his physical growth can not be said adults. When children experience the time of adolescence is not the same in each country. The time that varies according to local norms applicable maturity, for example in rural areas are agricultural, children aged 12 years have followed the work should be done in such adults to process fields of rice and their parents. In a situation like this means that adult children who have not been sued by the parents to be responsible. Thus adolescence will end up faster in rural areas. While in urban areas adolescence lasts longer, because the circumstances of life in the city of more complex and pluralistic society because of the influence of background cultural norms and customs, moral values, ethics, and social. Circumstances which lead to a maze of moral values and social uncertainties make the youth grow hesitated, hesitated, and perplexed, so they wondered in his heart, which actually should be chosen and in its guidelines.
Westerners call teens with the term "puberty", while Americans might call "adolensi". Both are transition from childhood into adulthood. Whereas in our country there are using the term "grown-up", "puberty", and the most widely called "teen". Adolensi calls can be defined as youth who have experienced the situation calm. In general, parents and educators tend to refer teens than teens puberty or adolescence adolesen. When viewed from the aspect of biological development, which calls teens than teens puberty or adolescence adolesen.

Puberty Period

Puberty

His essence of his puberty mature form of sex glands. In this girl's first menstrual period marked by the times, while in boys it is marked by mature secondary sexual characteristics, such as changing his voice and hair growth around the genitals. Except that the boys are also characterized by rapid body growth, while at the girl's menstruation actually signifies the end of rapid growth.

Cook puberty is marked by the reproductive organs so that the physical-biological teen ready reproduce. To the sexual organs of cuisine is also changing patterns of child socialization. When in the late childhood period, individuals were more interested in friends of the same sex, then in puberty heterosexual attraction starts to become more powerful.
Sexual maturity varies between boys and girls, as well as in each sex. For girls, it was moved from the age of nine to eighteen years, while for boys from age eleven to eighteen years. The following table shows the percentage of sexual maturity in boys and girls at every age.


The period of puberty is a period of overlap (overlapping period) that is in the final moments of childhood and early adolescence.
