Adolescence as defined in Medicine
adolescence ad·o·les·cence (ād'l-ěs'əns) n.
The period of physical and psychological development
from the onset of puberty to complete growth and maturity.
The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary
Adolescence can be a time of both
disorientation and discovery. The
transitional period can bring up issues of
independence and self-identity; many
adolescents and their peers face tough
choices regarding schoolwork, sexuality,
drugs, alcohol, and their social life. Peer
groups, romantic interests and external
appearance tend to naturally increase in
importance for some time during a teen's
journey toward adulthood.
