Different changes in body during adolescence?
for boys: change in voice. for girls:developing of the breasts. it's the years between puberty and adulthood. more hair on the body.
Does body odor indicate puberty?
Well first of all we get body odor even when we aren't going through puberty. However, if there is an increase and it seems abnormal (not normal) then yes, you may very likely be in puberty.
Can you catch up on your growth spurt even if you didn't get enough sleep in the past?
No you can't because your growth hormones are mainly produced during sleep, and inadequate sleep during puberty can stunt growth I'm sorry to say.
How do you deal with a disrespectful 15 year old?
If the disrespect is not too severe and there is still some communication between you, you may be able to handle it on your own. Fortunately 'disrespectful' is a normal state for a 15 year old. At some points in the teen years, an individual starts to have their own ideas, beliefs, and feelings. It's part of the maturing process, getting ready for the future when they will need to do most of their own thinking and decision making. Bit by bit they have to wean themselves off relying on the parents to do it for them. For a parent to recognize this fact is half way home. To understand that their ideas or decisions may not be quite on target for their own well being is also to your benefit.
You 'deal' with a disrespectful teen (the earlier the better) by being respectful to their experimental decision making and new ideas that they didn't learn at home. Respecting it does not mean agreeing to it or allowing everything they come up with. You are still legally responsible for a 15 year old. It means that when they say or do something that is cause for controversy, instead of firing back about 'stupidity' or 'how dare you use that tone...', as calmly as possible, talk to them about what makes them say that or feel that way. Instead of telling the that they're 'wrong' (if they feel that way, it's how they feel), get them to express their thought process or what led to feeling that way (even while you're seething inside about who is trying to destroy your baby). Show that you are listening, you don't need to agree, just listen. Help them to think through what they're telling you without being preachy. If you can pull this off a few times, your teen should feel more confident about their own ideas and more likely to think them through more maturely as they discuss them with you.
Can girls get there peride in class?
Yes Girls can have their period anyway always carry a tampom or pad
I found this really interesting website about this. It seems that high level gymnasts do indeed have their growth stunted. http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/female-gymnasts-injury.html If you go to google.com and put in 'stunted growth gymnastics ' you will get a lot of information. As a high level gymnast, I have concluded that it does stunn your growth. I disagree. I have been a gymnast for 14 years, and YES I am short but gymnastics is not the only factor involved. I did a 10 page report on this last year and concluded that 1). small children are attracted to the sport and 2.) gymnastics may play a tiny part in being a bit shorter but I would say about 95% of it is genetics. ANOTHER ANSWER: I have not checked out the abovementioned websites, But I have heard of girls and young ladies that really push themselves physically, training, doing gymnastics as well as long-distant runners who push their bodies to the MAX, have been shown to MISS a period or even two. When girls back off on the over-workouts, and listen to their bodies, their menses cycles will come back to normal. I have not read about permenant damage. Ask your doctor. Hope this heelps!! <<>>
ANOTHER ANSWER: im 15 and i did gymnastics my whole life until recently. im 5'9". so im obviously not short. but however i did start puberty late and barely have a chest but the rest of my family has HUGE chests. I dont know if they are related or not.
If your a guy, yes. But girls don't care. Sometimes they think it makes you look cuter... If your a girl, no. As long as you're not very chubby, you won't look bad. Hope this helps!
Can we get court marriage if the girl age is 17 and boy age is 20?
Yes, you can. If a person was only 2 or 3 years of age apart then it is fine. Over 3 however, is considered illegal.

Can you get pregnant if tho guy did not hit puberty yet?
Keep in mind that if the male is at an age that he is still prepubescent, having sex with him is almost definitely illegal.
Since guys do not mature and release sperm before the onset of puberty - technically no.
HOWEVER
Just because you think a guy hasn't reached that point in puberty is no guarantee that he hasn't. It is possible for a guy to get a girl pregnant even though neither one THINKS he has reached puberty. He may have started puberty and it just isn't apparent yet.
What happens to the religious ENFP girls when they become a teen and start going to coed parties?
Well, as a borderline I/ENFP I can say they will probably enjoy partying because they are driven by being around people. Depending upon the religion she is, how seriously she takes her religion, and what kind of parties she goes to, many different things can happen.
If you worded this question to mean what happens to "churched" girls that get a taste of freedom and partying?
It depends on her upbringing and who she chooses to surround herself with. If she has strong values, she may choose not to party. But if she does party, she might not party like other coeds that don't share her values.
If she is careful who she chooses to surround herself with (girls with same values), she may not feel pressured to do anything wrong. I would recommend she stay with the coeds that share her values.
Because once someone starts hanging out with the wrong people, it is a very slippery slope!
Yes thats when reality can get in the way of all those years of religious brain washing, a troublesome time!
Stress is pretty normal for a teenager, as you go through quite alot: puberty, love, etc.
As a teenager you go through quite alot of stress, it seems girls seem to get it a little bit more then boys, but boys get it to.
If you're stressed out about something try talking to a close friend or a parent or just somebody you trust.
