hello !! yes , to a little extent you are right this age 13- 19 years is the age of transformation of a child to a well developed physically and mentally healthy adult. there are some physical changes as well as some hormonal changes and secondary sexual characters start appearing due to which the teen Ager feels quite uncomfortable but once you overcome this period and achieve your full physical and mental development there would be lots of changes in you by that time and you will feel comfortable with it. all you need to do at present is to take balanced diet , do proper excercises, focus on studies and communicate properly with your parents and friends about your problems. there is nothing to be shy. this is the age where , at many times you would be in dilemma where you have to judge a lots of things ,, you have to consider lots of things so proper clarification of your queries is must for overall personality development. Hope you would benefit a lot from this clarification. any further queries are welcome!!
