Puberty: This is the stage during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction. It's like when flowers bloom in springtime; they're ready to reproduce.
Identity Formation: This refers to the process through which individuals develop distinct personalities and sense of self. It's like an artist painting a self-portrait; they decide what features to highlight or downplay based on their own perception.
Peer Influence: This term describes how peers can impact an individual’s attitudes, behaviors, and experiences during adolescence. It's similar to how trends spread among friends; if one person starts wearing a new style of clothing or using new slang words, others often follow suit.
