People often think that puberty and adolescence refer to the same thing.
However, they refer to two different aspects of growing up. While puberty covers the physical, adolescence deals with the mental aspects of growing up. This is the worst fear of the new generation, specially the teenage girl. While the older generation looks at weight control from the health point of view, this is a worry that plagues the average teenager from a more cosmetic viewpoint. It s a fact of life that teenagers are likely to experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, clothes and makeup on the fast track to adulthood.
