Hello sister,
The adolescent stage
I hope that you are doing well in your studies at school and in other sectors. Well, I am
aware that you are approaching the adolescent stage in life and your body and brain will have to
undergo changes some of which may be stressful while others will make you overly active. This
is a stage in life that will give you options to choose from and decide on the path that your life
will take. You may become a responsible lady or you may also get lost...
