During teenager, children undergo striking physical, intellectual, and emotional growth. In early teenager, children begin to develop the capacity for abstract, logical thought. During teenager, the regions of the brain that control emotions develop and mature. Teenagers gradually learn to suppress inappropriate thoughts and actions and replace them with goal- oriented behaviour. Teenager is a period when physical growth and maturation are accompanied by mental and psychological development. Pubertal timing are associated with different symptoms than pubertal status or age.
