Many and varied: Body changes elicit emotions including hormone surges, menses in girls, acne, voice changes, breast and hair changes, height/weight change. Maturation may affect social attraction and poularity but also awkwardness. Sexual desires affect relationship that may become intense. Brain changes may lead to impulsive and less rational thinking and less emotional control. Challenging!
