Definition
The transitional period of development between childhood and adulthood, characterized by significant physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes.
Etymology
From Latin 'adolescentia' meaning 'youth,' from 'adolescere' (to grow up, mature).
Kelly Says
Adolescence is the bridge between being a kid and being a grown-up — a time of huge brain changes, identity searching, and emotional roller coasters.
