Girls growth spurts begin around 10 and for boys 12, by the end girls have grown a little more than 13 inches while boys add roughly 14 and a half inches on average. Moreover, gains in weight begin roughly a year and a half after growth spurts. Because of this adolescents tend to have lanky bodies as their height and weight don't match up until the later stages of adolescence.
Secondly, because of this change in height and weight the body shapes of boys and girls subsequently change as well. Boys shoulder develop more than girls whereas the reverse is true for hips as girls develop wider hips than boys. Furthermore, gains in fatty tissue is more prevalent in girls than boys giving them a more rounded body type whereas boys gain more in muscle. This is reflected in body weight as boys' is composed more of muscle mass compared to the fatty tissues for girls.

Beard and chest hair continue to develop past the age of 20 and into adulthood. Though not all males develop chest hair and facial hair or they develop in certain areas of the body at different rates.

The most noticeable development is their growth spurt. At this time, their stable patterns of height and weight come to an end and they hit an abrupt growth change. Boys add an average of fourteen and a half inches to their height while girls add thirteen inches on average. After their height spurts, their weight follows. However, there Is no average weight gain told as each individual is differently based on how active they are and how much food they consume. The visual difference is found in how boy’s shoulders become broader as their body weight is more composed of muscle mass than girls whose weight is mostly fatty tissue. Both girls and boys reach their peaks of growth of height and weight during their adolescence stage.

Other physical developments during this stage is linked to puberty. In boys, after the age of fifteen, underarm, upper lip, and beard hair begins to be visible.

Brain development is common in the teenage years in relation to maturation and the use of brain regions. It is said that adolescences are able to control how their brains are wired and sculptured. They are hand wiring their brains to certain tasks whether it be sports, music, academics, or laying on the couch playing video games. This affects each portion of the brain too as our text mentions that adolescents’ frontal lobes are less active and their amygdalas are more active which is why they often misread facial expressions and have poor judgement, insight, and reasoning ability (Rathus 465).

During adolescence, some individuals develop eating disorders as they are most concerned about their bodies. This is from the effects of puberty as it brings rapid changes to the teenagers and they worry about what others is viewing and thinking about them. These eating disorders can be argued that they come from societies stance on body image as we have cultural emphasis on slimness and the ‘perfect image’.
