3. But remember … you aren’t the only one going through these changes.
Your friends are going through the same thing at the same time.
Every grown-up has been through the same thing when they were your age (yes even your parents and your teachers!)
Dear problem page…
I feel so confused. Everything is annoying me at the moment – my friends are all moody and all my mum does is tell me off. My teachers keep telling me to work harder but I’m really tired. I’m also worried about how I look – I am taller than all my friends and my body is changing fast. I don’t want to look like a greasy freak!
What can I do?
What advice would you give?
What might the physical changes be and why?
What might the emotional changes be and why?
read the problem page and then in groups/pairs think of the answers to the questions – either write an answer or share answers with the whole class. It covers physical and emotional aspects of puberty.
