PUBERTY = REBEL

Puberty is a transition period from being a child to becoming a young adult on a physical and emotional level. Puberty is known as a turbulent period. The need of teenagers to find their own identity often leads to conflict with their parents.

Rebelling is often used when talking about puberty, as the adolescent will rebel against established boundaries. They feel a need for independence, which will often be expressed as a rebelling against parental authority. An important part of personality building takes place during puberty. This will coincide with lots of showing off or the opposite, to retreat, be shy and isolate.

MENTAL CHANGES DURING PUBERTY

During puberty you often feel like an adult already and therefore want to be treated like one, yet you want to have the security, warmth and comfort from home. Your emotional life is therefore changing and vulnerable. During puberty the following feelings can cause problems: changing moods, insecurity, inferiority, uncertainty about which path to follow in life and lack of stability.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES OFFER SUPPORT DURING PUBERTY

· Give direction

During puberty the adolescent will go off in search of themselves and the direction they wish to follow in life. They are looking for the answer to questions like “Who am I?” “Where am I going?” Bach Flower Essences will help you find the right direction in life and so help build your own identity.

· Insecurity

Doubt is a common feeling exhibited during puberty. The adolescent is searching, trying out everything, rebels against established boundaries and wants to find their own way of life. Insecurity and doubt often disturb the emotional balance of the teenager. Bach Flower Essences help to obtain emotional stability so they become more self-confident and doubt less.

· Changing moods

Mood swings are an expression of emotional instability. One moment they feel great and are euphoric, the next they are aggressive and angry towards friends, family and society. Flower essences will absorb these mood swings and provide more balance in your emotional life.

· Feeling of inferiority

Teenagers can feel less worthy than others during their puberty phase. They want to be part of a group but feel they are dumber, less interesting or have restricted capabilities because of the social statues of their parents. This can lead to a feeling of inferiority and low self-esteem. Through flower essences we are able to reduce this inferiority feeling and build up the self-image again.

· Rebel

Rebelling against society, their parents, established norms and values are typical during puberty. Rebellious behaviour and working against other people is a way of obtaining a “spot” in the adult world. Bach Flower Essences will make sure this rebellious behaviour doesn’t run out of control, they will offer the necessary peace and tranquillity to the state of mind.
