THE HEALTHY TEENAGER
If the first ten years of a child’s life have been good and healthy ones, the chances are excellent for a successful adolescence. But this will still be a period during which the doctor, the parents, and the teenager must work together for that wonderful goal: a healthy, mature body and mind.
Nature has a way of driving a child faster than is desirable in our complex society. Many boys and girls are sexually mature by the time they are 13 to 15. Physically, they are ready for mating. But they are not ready for marriage with all of its responsibilities, including parenthood. Aside from the difficulties they would have to face, they are not yet adults emotionally. As though this were not enough, a number of factors over which they and their parents have little control often complicate the picture. For example, shortly before puberty or in early adolescence, boys and girls pass through a period of preferring the members of their own sex. This is a natural and valuable phase of life. It is followed by an interest in members of the opposite sex, which leads to the choosing of a mate.
However, these events do not always proceed according to a timetable. The age of children in a group, such as a school grade, may vary by as much as two years or so. Boys are usually about two years older than girls when maturity arrives. And, finally, physical and emotional development do not always proceed at the same pace.
All of this means that some young people will be out of step. They will be attracted to members of the opposite sex, which the crowd still scorns; or they will prefer members of their own sex while their friends have gone on to dating and flirting. Not wanting to be on the outside, these young people will try hard to be like the majority. They will rush through, or even miss, an important phase of their emotional development; or they will be forced to remain in it too long.
