2. Increased sensitivity: Feeling more sensitive to criticism or rejection.

3. Self-consciousness: Feeling shy or embarrassed about physical changes.

4. Desire for independence: A growing desire for freedom and autonomy.

5. Attraction to others: Developing romantic or sexual feelings towards others.

Psychological changes:
