EMOTIONAL CHANGES Pre-teens and teenagers often feel strong and sometimes overwhelming emotions like shame and humiliation. they might know the words to express such kinds of emotions but still fail to recognize them when they are upset.  Also, because of their brain development it is not always possible for pre-teens and teenagers to express such feelings and manage them like an adult would do. This is the reason why they need constant guidance and support of adult people and their parents to make them understand that these changes are normal and even they had gone through this phase when they were a teenager.
