What+and+why+emotional+changes+occur+during+puberty

During puberty us and the people around us will experience drastic changes in our moods.If you're out-of-control happy one minute, totally depressed the next minute, and furious the next, you're completely normal! It's part of growing up. But mood swings can also be frightening and confusing. When we go through puberty, a part of our pituitary gland, in our brain, becomes active or "alive." This gland sends chemical messengers to our ovaries; our ovaries then become hormone factories. Our mood swings are related to the changing levels of those hormones. If you can't control your responses to the mood swings, talk with a trusted adult. It'll help to get plenty of rest and exercise and to eat a healthy diet. These keep your mood more stable.-Jacob
