Adolescents

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents tend to have more intense and frequent mood swings than children and adults. This is partly due to hormonal changes and the stress of navigating the challenges of adolescence.

Answer: B
 Adolescents are typically more concerned with their appearance than children and adults, as they are often preoccupied with fitting in, being accepted by their peers, and developing a sense of identity.

Answer: C
 Menarche (the onset of menstruation) and spermarche (the onset of sperm production) can be significant events for adolescents, as they mark the beginning of sexual maturation and the potential for reproduction. While some adolescents may feel upset or anxious about these changes, others may be more excited or curious.

Answer: D
 It is common for adolescents to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing sexual changes with their parents, so they may not always share the news of their menarche or spermarche. However, it is important for parents to create a supportive and open environment where their children feel comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance.
