Answer

Apart from mood swings, adolescents also experience:

  • Stronger and more intense emotions than in childhood.
  • Increased sensitivity to others' words and actions.
  • Deeper interests in particular subjects, hobbies, music, sports, or art.
  • Compassion — many feel pulled towards social work and helping the needy.
  • Peer attraction — wanting to spend more time with friends and sometimes mimicking peer behaviour.
  • Creativity and innovation — channelling new energy into music, dance, art, or sports.

→ Adolescent behaviour: stronger emotions, sensitivity, deeper interests, peer attraction, creativity.
