The term "adolescent girls" refers to females who are in the stage of physical and emotional development between childhood and adulthood, typically ranging from age 10 to 19. During this period, they experience significant changes both physically (e.g., puberty) and emotionally as their bodies mature and they develop a greater sense of independence and self-awareness. Adolescent girls often face unique challenges such as navigating social relationships, developing a positive body image, and making decisions about their future goals and aspirations.
