The Secular Trend is a phenomenon of more rapid physical maturation during this centu
The Secular Trend is ascribed to varied factors, such as interaction of genetic an
environmental influences, improved health care and living conditions, and control
infectious diseases.

SEXUAL IDENTITY

Adolescence is a time of sexual exploration and experiment with sexual fantasies an

realities if incorporating sexuality with one’s identity quoted by Santrack, 2005

Adolescences are concerned about their body image sexual attractive how to do sex an
the future of their sexual lives. Most adolescent manage to develop a mature sexual identi
but the number go through it with much confusion.

How do Adolescents develop a sexual identity?

In terms of sexual identity, adolescence is the period when gayest/lesbian an

transgender begin to recognized and make sense of their feelings.
BODY/IDEAL IMAGE

Most adolescence desire an “ideal body”, which is the same as being attractive or handsome in face (features of
the eyes, nose, lips, hair, etc.) and in body (tall and muscular for boys and tall and slender for girls). Therefore, the
consciousness about body image storing during the adolescent period. It is important that adolescents feel confident
about they look but the physical features of human body (facial looks, body size, color of skin etc.) depend on genetic
heritage which must be respected.

There is more to body image than physical looks and these concern good habits in relation to:

 Cleanliness and grooming

 Proper wearing of clothes following current styles

 Erect bodily posture

 Eye contact while communicating

 Decorum (good form and confidence) and decency

ADOLESCENT AND NUTRITION

It necessary for adolescent to have sufficient amounts of vitamins B12, calcium, zinc, iron, riboflavin
and Vitamin D. The vegetarian fad can be disastrous to adolescents who need vitamins, mineral and
protein which purely vegetable diets cannot provide.

It is a recognized fact that teens are the poorest eaters among age group, as they often skip meals,
frequently take snack foods (hamburger, fries, pizza, soft drinks, etc.) at fast- food eateries.

The importance of having a balanced diet eating the right kind and amount of food daily using the
three basic food group.

 Energy Giving Foods

 Body Building Foods
 Body Regulating Foods
SELF-ESTEEM

A major aspect of identify formation during the period of adolescence is self-esteem. Self-esteem is
defined as ones through and feelings about one’s self-concept and identity. Most theories on self-esteem
state that there is a grand across all genders and ages to maintain protect the enhance self-esteem.
Therefore, It’s important that adolescent feel confident about their body image. The physical features of
the human body (facial looks, body size, color of skin, etc.) depend on genetic heritage witch must
generally be respected. However, with advancement in hair and skin technology, change in hair color
and skin are no longer impossible.
