  1. Hello and welcome to my presentations about adolescents in the
  2. physical changes.
  3. We're gonna be talking about a little bit about puberty,
  4. the brain and sexuality.
  5. So and we'll talk a little bit about my resource
  6. is and my interview with the my psychologist, Dr Stephanie
  7. Wong, who I presented this to find out if I
  8. could get any other good resource is on information that
  9. I'm going to be riding you guys with today.
  10. So first, let's find out what exactly everything means.
  11. So this first go to puberty.
  12. Okay, what is puberty?
  13. Puberty is that different, period.
  14. Which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction?
  15. That is, that is puberty.
  16. Now let's go on to the brain, the brain and
  17. organ of a soft, nervous tissue containing the school of
  18. vertebrates functioning as the coordinating center of sensation in the
  19. intellectual and nervous system.
  20. Now the brain in its aspect.
  21. It's very powerful, very powerful thing, and I feel that
  22. really it's very important to know a lot about the
  23. brain. So let's talk about sexuality.
  24. Sexuality is a person's orientation or preference.
  25. I'd like to add in there also sexual maturity or
  26. sexually mature e ation.
  27. That's really important to know as we go along in
  28. my presentation.
  29. Okay, Next.
  30. Just talk about puberty a little bit.
  31. First of all, early puberty has really been happening a
  32. lot in today's world.
  33. A lot of the reasons for being is it's synthetic
  34. chemicals that are actually could be contributing to early puberty.
  35. Um, the rates have went up tremendously since ah, two
  36. years ago, and there could be many things that are
  37. causing puberty, um, early puberty, like synthetic chemicals.
  38. And that's basically what I mean when I say synthetic
  39. chemicals, it's basically, um, certain plastics have, ah, minute kind
  40. of some estrogen on down At that point, uh, you
  41. can also create what they call BP a biz personal
  42. A which is actually detrimental.
  43. What it does is add weight to you faster and
  44. faster, more mature ation.
  45. Now, girls put the high levels of hormones Also canned
  46. mature a lot quicker than men also lower inside.
  47. Just in case you didn't know, Um, there's ah chemical
  48. out there that's made in mothballs or air deodorizers that
  49. prenatal exposure to can also cause low weight and boys.
  50. So just go inside if you need to know that
  51. also, breast growth and females happens in puberty.
  52. We talked about marked weight and height gains.
  53. Girls First Administration, which is, uh, um, having their period.
  54. In a sense.
  55. Um, so those are a couple things about puberty.
  56. I think it's very important to know, um, as an
  57. adolescence. All right, let's go.
  58. Move on.
  59. Now, let's go to, um, the brain.
  60. The brain is very important.
  61. And I really would like to focus a little bit
  62. on the brain here for a second, Um, the prefrontal
  63. cortex number that zoom in for a minute.
  64. And then I zoom back out for you.
  65. But the pre frontal cortex, the region of the rains,
  66. intense emotions, but don't finish developing until at least emerging
  67. adulthood. Now, that could be, um, 17 18 years old.
  68. Let's go over to the other part of the brain,
  69. which is the corporate school.
  70. Oh, close.
  71. Um, sorry if my presentation is my spelling is not
  72. correct or pronunciation.
  73. Um, but most important is that we get this right.
  74. Corpus callosum.
  75. Um, these nerve fibers connect the brains too.
  76. Two hemispheres.
  77. They thicken in adolescents to possess process information more effectively.
  78. Now, might I tell you that in the brain, A
  79. lot of kids are, um either kind of black or
  80. white in adolescence.
  81. They you know, they don't They look, they consider the
  82. big picture, but they don't know how to apply it
  83. at the moment and which could be a little troublesome,
  84. you know, because kids are still learning, right?
  85. Um much of this is because the frontal lobes are
  86. the last areas of the brain to mature.
  87. Development is not complete until person is well into their
  88. 20 year twenties.
  89. Um, the frontal lobes also play a big role in
  90. coordinating complex decision making, impulse control and being able to
  91. consider multiple options and consequences.
  92. Um, examples.
  93. I'm doing well enough in math.
  94. I really want to see that movie one night of
  95. skipping. Studying won't matter.
  96. See, they're not looking at it.
  97. They look at the big picture, but they're not applying
  98. it. All right, let's go Toe Diggle.
  99. My Olympic system, a structure that is involved in emotion,
  100. which plays a big part, is extremely big when it
  101. comes to trying to understand the Olympic system.
  102. What is the Olympic system?
  103. The vic system is a loyal sub court school system,
  104. which the brain that is the seat of the motions
  105. and experience of the rewards.
  106. This system is almost completely developed in early adolescence.
  107. Now, when I say talk about early adolescents, don't forget
  108. that's from the age of probably 12 to 17 on,
  109. Say, let's move on.
  110. Let's go to our favor one.
  111. Sexuality sexuality is really can be confusing at times for
  112. many reasons.
  113. Um, people tend to, uh, try to identify their sexuality,
  114. and one of the things is developing it, learning to
  115. manage those sexual feelings that we all get the young
  116. age, you know, Um and actually, to be honest with
  117. you, Ah, lot of kids these days aren't having as
  118. much sex and schools they used to.
  119. That's what I've read and research and all that.
  120. I find it very interesting that kids have actually went
  121. down and how much they have sex in high school.
  122. Now here's another thing, and we'll talk about this just
  123. a little bit.
  124. Sexual behaviors.
  125. How can we performed sexual behaviors?
  126. Well, that kind of means like sexual relationships, how to
  127. identify who you should be with her.
  128. You shouldn't be with, um, it's really important to also,
  129. um, so let's talk a little bit about adolescence.
  130. Pregnancy. So we all are very familiar with adolescents pregnancies
  131. and what it can cause.
  132. And how could ah develop, um, early in maturity?
  133. Definitely that, um, And how research has shown that a
  134. lot of the thing in late out of the lessons,
  135. um, they tend to, um I think it's okay.
  136. I, for one, don't really, Um I find it to
  137. be okay, but that's just my opinion.
  138. All right, So we've talked a little bit about sexuality
  139. the brain and Hubert and I've researched a lot of
  140. stuff on this and looked into it very deeply.
  141. And I was able to coordinate with my psychologist about
  142. her input on this, and her input was The biggest
  143. thing was that I really need to focus on sexual
  144. maturity ation, which I do believe is very important.
  145. I do, because during that stage, it really you're trying
  146. to identify who you are as individual, and that's what
  147. we all are trying to do in life.
  148. We're trying to find out who we are as a
  149. person, and you know what?
  150. It's it's It's like this, right?
  151. So I had that screen off for a while.
  152. So, you know, it's like this right?
  153. Is you're going through high school.
  154. You're going through adolescence.
  155. You want to be able to be able to live
  156. life the way you want to live it.
  157. But I really feel the society is really determined how
  158. we're going to live.
  159. Did it.
  160. I know at this point in life, we're going through
  161. the Corona virus, and that's huge.
  162. Who'd ever thought right?
  163. But today we still gonna think about our adolescents.
  164. And actually, in fact, today, we really need to look
  165. to the adolescents people to actually follow this direction of
  166. what the world is asking for because this will obviously
  167. eliminate the process of spreading this virus around to older
  168. people, which are having a little bit more problem beating
  169. it. Um, I really want to say that this has
  170. been a great opportunity to experience and to go over
  171. some of the main topics and big talks that I
  172. felt were important.
  173. And the reason I say that is because myself I
  174. didn't go through puberty until late junior high school, so
  175. that's 16 17 years old.
  176. And when I was seen everybody actually developed sooner than
  177. me. I felt like I was out of the out
  178. of the norm.
  179. Um, I always seem people shaving and I'm less like
  180. I wish I could shave, But my time came.
  181. Believe me, I have double more like 17 18 years
  182. old. I grow five or six inches and I thought
  183. was extremely, um, a lot in one time.
  184. Um Ah.
  185. And it showed me in life that you know what?
  186. We're all equal.
  187. At the end of the day, we're all so I
  188. would like to thank everybody for my your time.
  189. I would like to just show you spend real quick.
  190. Uh, the resource is that I went through was too
  191. healthy. Children dot war, um, cognitive development, physical and cognitive
  192. development of the Scientific America and also help in science.
  193. And in my interview, I want to thank you and
  194. have a good day.
  195. But by
