why do most teenagers or middle schoolers go through one of those “awkward” phases? What is it about the age and physiological place they’re in?
In: Biology
In simplest terms, I’d say it has to do with the large amount of changes they go through. Puberty points to a lot of physiological and hormonal changes in and of itself – this is by and large a process that teenagers don’t get a say in, and even if they understand what to expect it is not the same as experiencing firsthand.
All of these changes within them affect how they look at themselves, how they look at their peers, how they look at their family, and how they feel others look at them. Even though what they feel is more often than not a normal experience that many can relate to, a teenager’s perspective is shifting in such a way that they can often feel as if they’re the only one who has gone through this.
