1. Adolescence is also a period of change in a person’s way of thinking. Adolescents become more assertive and independent than before, but they also become self-conscious.
2. Intellectual development takes place and they tend to spend considerable time thinking. In fact, it is often the time in one’s life when the brain has the greatest capacity for learning.
3. Sometimes, however, an adolescent may feel insecure while trying to adjust to the changes in the body and mind. But as adolescent learners, one should know that there is no reason to feel insecure. These changes are a natural part of growing up.
