Here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by growth spurts it's the

00:07

only time you can reach new heights without doing a darn thing alright [Boy on a couch and mother shouting]

00:11

here's the question what's an accurate statement about

00:13

adolescent and here are potential answers alright well people use the term

00:21

adolescence pretty loosely but all it really means is what happens after

00:25

puberty and before adulthood well this is usually during the teenage years but [Boy standing on a beach]

00:29

there are plenty of preteen early bloomers too you know like those flowers [Kids approach blooming flower]

00:33

that bloom in February noteworthy surprised but probably really confusing

00:36

for the flower okay let's take a look at D and E authoritative parenting establishes

00:41

rules but is also democratic well these parents will explain why the rules are

00:46

rules and often they're more nurturing than punishing they're supportive and [Parents ordering boy to his room]

00:50

assertive but not restrictive sounds like establishing boundaries to us so we

00:55

can cross out E permissive parenting occurs when the parents have few demands [Children jumping up and down]

01:00

of their children expectations are low and there's a not much discipline and

01:04

it's more responsive but less demanding well this is the parent that seems more

01:08

like a friend than a parent and let's be real [Parent waving to children]

01:10

how obligated to obey your friends are you really we can cross that see as for

01:15

a B and C we only need to recall exactly what primary and secondary sex

01:18

characteristics are in order to find our answer well primary sex characteristics

01:23

are the physical characteristics involved in reproduction secondary sex

01:27

characteristics on the other hand are characteristics that serve to

01:31

distinguish the sexes it don't actually aid in reproduction well this includes

01:36

things like voice changes facial hair breath development and you know other [Primary and secondary characteristic examples appear]

01:40

hair let's look at our answer choices here again we have only primary only

01:45

secondary and both well anyone who's ever gone or is currently going through

01:50

puberty knows that during this stage of development everything about your body [Man staring into mirror]

01:55

gets messed up and you feel super horrible all the time you're confused [Girl punches mirror]

01:59

moving and emotional and super hairy lots of stuff is going on

02:03

mostly hair though it only makes sense that during adolescence most people

02:07

experience a growth spurt and develop both primary and secondary sex

02:10

characteristics so C is the correct answer but don't worry we all get

02:15

through it one way or another and don't you upset about the hairiness you'll [Bald man looking into mirror]
