we cant make sense of life because everone is telling us different things we have to do to get through lifeWhy do kids change when they become teenagers?
I think there's a couple of reasons why kids change when they become teens. The first is hormones. Kids typically have a low baseline of hormones until they hit puberty. There just isn't much going on. At puberty, estrogens and androgens fill the blood stream and suddenly kids are paying more attention to their bodies and their bodies are responding in *new* ways. It's the first time they've had to deal with such strong drives and emotions and it can be unnerving.


I think the second reason is based on the growth spurt itself. Not only are the muscles, bones, hair and genitals growing at an accelerated rate (which means the kid has to emotionally adapt to it), but the brain is going through some major changes. There's a big increase in brain cells and ';trimming'; (unused connections die) and since the brain controls thought patterns, emotions and everyday living, it stands to reason that teens will begin to see events, relationships and sensations in a different light as well.


The last to ';stablize'; is the pre-frontal cortex which is responsible for reasoning, judging and higher level cognition (thinking). Thus teens are usually in a state of flux for several years as their bodies (including the brain) expand, contract and finally settle down into an adult pattern (usually in their early 20's).

Teenagers are comparable to the terrible two tots. Toddlers aren't quite baby anymore, but not quite big kid either--though they sure try to do everything their way and throw a big stinch when they don't get their way---Teenagers aren't quite adults, but not a small child either and act the same way as the overbearing terrible two tot.





Teenagers want freedom to do want they want when they want, but as parents we still have to set boundaries and hold them accountable when they misbehave.





Fortunately, most teenagers grow out this phase in their early twenties and for some, never.
Because their mind is growing and maturing(most of them.)


Hormones also change their attitude towards things.
Hormones change a person physically and mentally.


Also, teenagers feel like they have to be more ';adult.';
well breasts tend to do that
Because they start to grow up!
just a little. I still act like a kid though. LOL
sh!t happens
not all teens do i didn't
Puberty, and apparently they go through the same amount of brain development as toddlers, indicating why both can be badly behaved, and you are growing up.








:D
because they are going through a ';Change';
Because they start to mature and go through puberty.
umm Puberty lol
