Lesson Overview

34.12 – Understanding Hormones and Emotional Swings: Hormones are chemical messengers that influence how you think, feel, and react. During adolescence, these levels fluctuate often, creating emotional highs and lows that can be confusing. You might feel joyful one hour and frustrated the next without a clear reason. Hormones affect sleep, appetite, and energy too, making it important to take care of your body. Exercise, balanced meals, and steady rest help keep hormones more stable. Stress can throw them off balance, causing mood changes or physical symptoms like acne or headaches. Knowing what’s happening helps you react with patience instead of guilt. When your body changes, it’s not weakness—it’s growth. Treating yourself kindly during these shifts helps your emotional system settle faster. Understanding hormones gives you perspective, reminding you that emotions come and go, but your ability to handle them grows stronger with awareness.
