Adolescence as defined by WHO is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe period between ages of 10-19 years which is characterized by human growth and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelopment. The term 'Adolescence' came from the Latin word meaning 'to grow'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor 'to grow to maturity'. The period of adolescence can also be referred as second\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edecade of life and is an important phase of life-span. Thus, it can be said that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eadolescent is a period of life which is the line of transition from childhood to maturity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Newman and Newman, 1986). According to Jersild, (1978), \"Adolescence is that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003espan of years during which boys and girls move from childhood to adulthood, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ementally, emotionally, socially and physically.\" In the words of Piaget (1969), \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Adolescence is the age when the individual becomes integrated into the society of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eadults, the age when the child no longer feels that he is below the level of his elders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebut equal, at least in rights.\" Thus, adolescence is the phase where an individual is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eneither considered as children, nor they are considered as adults. Therefore they are in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emid-way of childhood and adulthood phase. As stated earlier there is an intense\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eincrease of physical changes, also rapid growth and development takes place. It\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esignifies one of the vital changes such as in the life span that occurs within an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eindividual. In the words of Luella Cole (1961), \"Adolescence is a period of growth. In\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe course of few years, the individual undergoes changes in both sizes and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eproportions- through which one can see him from a childish to a mature level.\" There\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare physical, cognitive, social as well as emotional changes during adolescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the timing and pace of changes may vary from individual to individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Ingersoll, (1989), an individual attains a new sense of self and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eestablishes a sense of self identity. Feelings of self-worth are developed which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eincludes an attraction of his or her body image, adaptation to increased intellectual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eabilities and preparing for adult roles.\" Many researchers have divided the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eadolescence into various stages, which are as stated below: \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46534399492306,"sku":"9782520751990","price":33.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_e4e81877-27ad-4335-aba1-90bc2299026d.jpg?v=1764373637","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/menstrual-hygiene-practices-of-schoolgirls-kinshuk-1","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
