Trapped in a New Body: A Plan for Pre-Teens & Teensಮಾದರಿ

My body is changing and I don’t like it

Becoming a teenager can come with a lot of changes, both physically and mentally. It’s a time when you’re trying to find your place in the world, and it can be challenging. Especially when it comes to the physical changes we experience during this time.

From acne and body hair growing in new places to the changes in our voice and size of our feet and hands, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But even during these uncertain times, we must always trust in God. He created us, so He knows all of the changes we will deal with before they even happen.

Acne can be an uncomfortable experience for any teen. But know that this is all part of the process of becoming an adult and it will pass. Hair will grow in places you didn’t expect, and that is also part of the normal process. It’s important to remember that everyone experiences changes in their body, and you’re not alone in this.

Another change you may experience during your teenage years is a change in your voice. It’s natural for a boy’s voice to become deeper as they get older, while some girls' voices may also change. This change may take some getting used to, but as you learn to embrace it and learn how to use your voice, you’ll be able to express yourself better.

Finally, another thing you may notice is that your feet and hands become bigger as you get older. This is also normal and necessary for growth. It is important to remember to take care of your body and nourish it with healthy food, exercise and make sure to get enough rest.

Even though these physical changes may be tough to process, reminding yourself that God created us and knows all of the changes we will go through is comforting. Embrace each change with grace and trust that it is part of God’s plan for you.
