THE ADOLESCENT GIRL Part I A Tiny Tears doll, a new doll cradle, a beach ball was her list two years ago. This year her Christmas list was all clothes a felt circle skirt, a nylon halt slip, six yards around. The new Christmas requests are as reliable a harbinger of adolescence as the changing contours of the young lady's body. Often these changes of adolescence strike the parents suddenly, because mothers and fathers are reluctant to lose a child to the mysterious limbo of adolescence and 'tcenagedom. Childbirth without fear has become be-come a near cult, with relief of fear from repeated explanations. Could we achieve adolescence without awe by making use of the same educational techniques? It is difficult to fear intensely that which is well known. First examine some facts about the onset of adolescence in girls. There is marked individual variation vari-ation in the age at which adolescence adoles-cence occurs. It is important to understand that this phase of life has a slow beginning and follows a course of somewhat irregular development over many years. The beginning ot adolescence is called puberty. Changes in activity of the endocrine glands initiate the more obvious changes in the girl's body. Hair grows under her arms. The pubic hair begins to appear. Her breasts enlarge en-large gradually. She notices that she is taller than the hoys in her room at school. These changes may often be seen as early as ten or eleven years of age. At about the time of puberty she may become very self conscious con-scious about her body. Her feel-inps feel-inps may be a mixture of pride and embarrassment about her emerging womanliness.

At eleven to fifteen years of age, the girl experiences the most , dramatic of her physiological changes. Menstruation begins. She should know beforehand that the menstrual cycle is normal. She should be told that there is no dangerous loss of blood. Sic should not be led to believe that it is a time of pain or illness. However, she should not be asked to deny that she feels some discomfort dis-comfort or emotional change. Instead In-stead she should be reassured that the discomforts she may feel are of no major importance. She must be reassured that although she may be inconvienccd by menstruation menstru-ation at times, she can not be harmed by normal menstruation. Just as the process of digestion may become faulty, so can menstruation men-struation vary from the healthy cycle that it normally is. Digestive disturbances are not signals for violent alarm, and unusual symptoms symp-toms connected with menstruation should merely suggest a trip to the doctor. In the first year of the menstrual cycle it is expected there will be some irregularity. Irregularity of the cycle during the first year if there are no othr unusual symptoms need not be a cause of worry. It is advisable that this phase ot the girl's development de-velopment be under medical supervision, just as her other growing-up processes have been. During the adolescent changes in physiology and anatomy the girl has been moving toward maturity ma-turity in more subtle ways. She spends a great deal of time thinking think-ing about herself as an adult. Some girls feel such urgent need to prepare themselves for this eta to th -it thov hri'in ?nnrl.ir routines of self-denial briefly.

Her richer emotional development gives the young i woman vast new goals, and her increased mental growth gives the means of attaining the goals. But these goals and skills are new. ; With her restless drive she must , change frequently. She is a little ' like the school boy's horseman who mounted his horse and rode off in all four directions.
