Hormonal changes

Science tells that girls are matured in younger ages than boys, both physically and mentally.

Once they are matured, they seem to be really responsible and confident, all these are due to hormonal changes, i.e. without our knowledge hormones will change our attitude, character, thoughts, like, dislikes, etc.

Teen Age

Teen age is the age between 13 and 19. Between these 6 years hormones will act in a very healthy manner i.e. where we have to be very careful.

One side we will be enjoying with our friends, parties, farewells, etc. On the other side, unnecessarily we will make a quarrel with our father, sister, it is because we want to do whatever we like without knowing whether that is good or bad.

Life Style

Teen age changes the life style i.e. girls want to be more fashionable, they want to use updated items:

• Want to go to dance parties
• Want to wear clothes, cosmetics and jewel materials like an actress
• Want to be romantic (wearing t-shirts, jeans, pants, etc.)

They don’t want to sit ideal.

Dress Code and Style

To look glamorous, girls tend to wear trendy t-shirts, DLH jeans, etc. They begin the habit of going to beauty parlours. They always want to be:

G ..... Good looking
I ..... Icy cool
R ..... Romantic
L ..... Lovely

Two Wheeler Mania

Young girls do drive their vehicle very fast, even when it is not necessary, then only guys will say “Hey! See that girl how fast she is driving, its really excellent.”

They also tend to forget the fact that their ignorance or over style can lead them to accidents that may even be fatal sometimes. Especially when their dresses, like ‘thuppatta’, that flies on happiness gets into the wheels and led them to accidents.

Responsibility

After 19 years only both girls and boys will really feel the responsibility, so they will be matured enough to judge good and bad things. They will try to change the bad character or thoughts which they had between 13 and 19, so enjoy your teen age with responsibility.

The unethical media practices that entertain adult content everywhere – TV shows, cinema, print media, theatre, etc. – also influence the behaviour and life style of young women towards bad to worse.

Thus, it is the responsibility of all segments to try to pull up the talents of young women in the youth period itself with appropriate parental guidance so that they could become responsible and successful women of future.
