Does puberty cause weird and scary thoughts?

Answer 1

You shouldn't be afraid, and should talk to your parents if you have any problems. It is not a very quick process, it is a gradual process, meaning it doesn't happen all at once, it is slowly developing our bodies to become a fully grown adult.

Puberty, that natural biological transition from a child can indeed be embarrassing for many young people.

As their bodies develop they can become quite conscious of their changes and of the attention it can draw, from both boys and girls. It's a natural time when they come to understand their bodies and can engage in a natural experimentation and exploration.

For girls, the development of breasts can often cause self-consciousness, particularly under the unyielding eye and pressures of their peer group. As boys enter their puberty and hormones abound, they begin a transition of ignoring girls and now begin to notice.

It is a time when their sexual identity may become evident. For many children it can be a traumatic time, particularly in oppressive environments such as can occur under heavy or even oppressive cultural and religious pressures. Children also look closely at their family dynamic, often mimicking their parent's behaviours. Warm, loving, affirming, familial environments between monogamous parents, where there is a balance of affectionate tactile communication serves as a foundation for transitional development. It can go drastically awry in the absence of such an environment, again, especially, where there are mixed or highly pressured social, cultural, or religious pressures, such as parents or leaders suggesting their bodies are dirty or vile, or the urges they experience during their natural development are wrong or dirty.

As girls begin their first menstruation it can be a traumatic time, especially in the absence of an understanding, nurturing, and caring mother or female guardian. Girls can be not only embarrassed, but frightened, believing there is something wrong with their bodies.

Boys begin to experience erections throughout the day without understanding why. They can become self-conscious, especially at the often embarrassing moments they occur.

International studies within Western societies have found that in countries where sexual development is included as part of everyday natural discussion, where schools include sexuality and development as part of their curriculum, and parents encourage open dialogue, children make their transitions to adulthood far more easily. It is also a noted fact that unplanned pregnancy, sexual diseases, and sex-related crimes are at the lowest.
