    The document discusses the normal physical, mental, emotional, social, and moral changes that occur during puberty for both boys and girls. It describes the hormonal triggers of puberty and average ages that signs of sexual maturation like breast development, testicle enlargement, and the start of menstruation typically begin. While pubertal changes follow a general pattern, it emphasizes that each adolescent develops at their own pace and experiences changes differently.

    LESSON 2: CHANGES IN ADOLESCENTS

    Objectives:

    At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:

    Recognize that changes in different health dimensions are normal during puberty
    • Describe changes in different aspects of growth that happen to boys and girls
    during puberty
    • Explain that the pattern of changes during puberty for each adolescent is similar
    but the pace of growth and development is unique

    Content:
     Changes in health dimensions during puberty
    - Physical
    - Mental/intellectual
    - Emotional
    - Social
    - Moral-spiritual

    Background Information for Teachers 

    Adolescence is a time of growth spurts and pubertal changes. During this period,
    adolescents may experience a growth spurt for several months followed by a period of very
    slow growth; then they will have another growth spurt. Adolescents may experience pubertal
    changes gradually. Several signs of sexual maturation may become visible at the same time.
    Some adolescents may experience these signs of growth earlier or later than others. Pubertal
    changes generally happen to girls between the ages of 10 to 11 and to boys 12 t0 13 years of
    age.

    Changes that Occur During Puberty


    As a result of hormonal changes, sexual and other physical maturation occur during
    puberty. A gland in the brain, called the pituitary gland, increases the secretion of a hormone
    called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as a child approaches puberty. . In girls, the FSH
    activates the ovaries to start producing estrogen. In boys, the FSH causes the production of
    sperms.

    It is difficult to know exactly when puberty will occur in boys. Changes occur, but they
    occur gradually and over a period of time, rather than as a single event. While male adolescents
    differ, the average ages when pubertal changes generally happen are the following:

     12 to 13 years old
    o Start of puberty
    o The first pubertal change: enlargement of the testicles
    o Enlargement of the penis starts just about one year after the testicles
    begin enlarging
     13.5 years old
    o Appearance of pubic hair
     14 years old
    o Nocturnal emissions (or "wet dreams"):
     15 years old
    o Growth of hair on the face and the armpit, voice changes, and acne
    appear

    Girls also experience pubertal changes but these usually begin before boys of the same
    age. Each girl is different and may progress through these changes differently. The average ages
    when these pubertal changes occur are the following:

     10 to 11 years
    o Start of puberty: The first pubertal change: development of the breast
    o Appearance of pubic hair: shortly after breast developmen t
     12 years old
    o Underarm hair
     10 to 16.5 years old
    o Menstrual period

    Something to Ponder On

    Activity 1: Differences and Similarities (15 mins.)

    Tell the students to look at the pictures of teenagers.


    Ask:
    1. How are the girls similar in the way they grow?
    2. How are they different from each other?
    3. How are the boys similar in the way they grow?
    4. How are the boys different from each other?
    5. How are the boys and girls similar?
    6. How are the boys and girls different in the way they grow?
    7. Does everyone follow the same growth pattern?

    Have them read the text.

    Activity 2: Check Your Life Skills (10 mins.)

    1. Ask:
    2. How many life skills do you practice to promote your health status?
     What do you plan to do with the life skills you are not practicing yet? Why?

    Answers to this activity vary.


    Emphasize the importance of developing life skills in promoting holistic health.

    3. Call attention to the picture of the pituitary gland.

    Ask:
    How does the pituitary gland affect your growth and development?

    Activity 3: We are Growing and Developing (15 mins.)

    1. Let the class form five groups of the same gender.


    2. Let the students work on their chart.
    3. Tell the girls to consolidate their work and the boys to do the same.
    4. Have the group leaders present the consolidated output by groups.

    Sum Up: Changes-- Differences and Similarities (20 mins.)

    Tell the students to do Sum Up.

    Call on some students to present their work. Ask them if they have the same changes in
    each area of the Venn diagram. Tell them to revise their work if they misplaced some changes.
