Psychological or emotional changes during puberty manifest in different ways but often through a change in behavior. The confusion and the indecisiveness that your teenager experiences during the transition period also translate into a conflict of interest at times.

The study population showed conscious about losing weight (296, 37%), building muscles (366, 46%), spending more time in front of the mirror (320, 40%), and conscious about facial beauty (437, 55%). Feeling of uncertainty was expressed by 375 (47%) of the study population and conflict of thought was seen among 457 (57%) of the study population.
