Description

Product Description Teens undergo rapid changes as they are being transformed into young adults. Some worry that their own development is not keeping pace with what is normal. Some become painfully self-conscious or even embarrassed by the manifestation of sexual development. Girls may become obsessive about their weight, while boys may feel the cultural pressure to "bulk up." Some teens develop body dysmorphic disorder and fixate on a perceived physical flaw. Learn why physical attributes are superficial and understand why it is more important to base self-esteem on accomplishments, talents, and character attributes.
