ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER Adolescence is a time of significant
change. The adolescent era spans the interval between childhood and
adulthood. It is a time of physical, social, and even emotional
upheaval. During this relatively brief period of time not only does
physical growth accelerate but, of more significance in the biology
of any species, the individual attains reproductive maturity.
Within this time frame, the human being acquires the capacity to
procreate and perpetuate our species. From a reproductive
standpoint, throughout adeolescence the individual is being
prepared for perhaps what might be considered the most important
function an organism has during his/her brief sojourn on earth,
namely to endow successor(s) with a minute quan tity of DNA to
enable continuation of its form of life. The interlude be tween
childhood and adulthood is not always socially or emotionally sim
ple. The anatomic and physiologic modifications that come to pass
during adolescence are not necessarily paralleled by a capacity to
assume the societal responsibilities associated with reproductive
maturity. Although the physiologic changes normally proceed in a
predetermined fashion, adaptation to a changing role is a far more
trying process. Accustomed to living in a child's world, the
subject of adolescent change requires considerable time and
understanding to facilitate exis tence in the adult world. The
early stages of sexual awareness, for ex ample, are generally
extremely confusing and, as evidenced by the in ordinately high
frequency of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases,
can be extraordinarily dangerous."
