Changes that occur to the body during puberty are sometimes difficult for adolescents in the American society. Why are they difficult and what would you suggest as possible solutions to some of the problems?
What will be an ideal response?
Unlike in other parts of the world where puberty rites are performed to signify an adolescent's passage to adulthood, in American culture, an individual's entry into puberty is not given any formal recognition. In the absence of such rituals, a person may think that his or her body is doing strange things, making puberty a particularly difficult time. This problem can be overcome by providing timely education to adolescents about their bodies and the changes that will take place.
