TL;DR: James Stephen's description of these two young adolescents not only is couched in delightful prose but happily emphasizes the fact that adolescence is not a static but an ever-changing process.
Abstract: James Stephen's description of these two young adolescents not only is couched in delightful prose but happily emphasizes the fact that adolescence is not a static but an ever-changing process. The reasons he assigns for the difference between the boy and girl may not be the true ones, but we should remember that it is only in recent years and because some of the more serious disorders of infancy and early childhood such as feeding problems, diarrheal diseases, and bacterial infections have become better understood, that physicians have begun to give their attention to the hitherto relatively neglected natural phenomena of adolescence. These physicians, who are now both studying and caring for young people of this age group, find few diseases which are limited to adolescence, but they quickly discover that there are some matters concerning these young people themselves which should be kept in mind by the physician who advises and treats them. These matters (their concern with their own growth and development, their habit of strenuous living, their concern with schooling, and their emotional development) have been the subject of many publications, but a thorough understanding of one of them, the characteristics of the growth process in adolescence and the related fact of the adolescent's deep concern with his own growth, is so essential to a correct evaluation and proper management of a young boy or girl that reiteration is desirable. Little children and adults have slight emotional concern with their size. An eight-year-old child does not care how tall or mature he is and a thirtyyear-old adult does not become emotionally upset by the fact that his height is greater or less than his neighbor's. The adolescent, however, feels differently. Height, size, rate of growth, and state of maturity all mean a great deal during these years. The adolescent who is not maturing as rapidly as his or her companions, the boy who is shorter or the girl who is taller or more obese than usual, not only dislikes being different, but may become

Abstract: The Brush Foundation studies on human growth and development, begun in 1931 and terminated in 1942, have been intensively reviewed and studied by Dr Greulich and Miss Pyle in the formulation of this Radiographic Atlas of Skeletal Development of the Hand and Wrist Serial radiographs of from 2 to 20 hand-films made at successive examinations of each of 1000 boys and girls made up the radiographic material Standards were selected that were judged to be the most representative of the central tendency or anatomic mode of each chronologic age group from birth through 18 years

TL;DR: Treatment is directed to restructuring the body-image, the picture of their own body which the authors form in their minds when sexual development is inappropriate, which results in deviant behavior and adaptations.
Abstract: Body-image is the picture of our own body which we form in our minds. It is psychosocially determined. The way an adolescent sees himself in relation to his society is a vital factor in his adjustment. When sexual development is inappropriate the body-image is disturbed, which results in deviant behavior and adaptations. Parental over solicitude and emotional conflicts in early childhood exaggerate the reactions of individuals. Treatment is directed to restructuring the body-image.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of physical growth and health during the adolescent years and their implications for the educational program for adolescents are presented, as well as their implications on the educational environment for adolescents.
Abstract: IN A recent issue of the REVIEW, Jensen (46) presented a comprehensive report on investigations relating to the broad problem of physical growth. Reviews dealing with school health education and school health services have been prepared by Rugen (79) and by Wheatley and Shaffer (91) . In the present review, primary attention is given to characteristics of physical growth and health during the adolescent years. Their implications for the educational program for adolescents are presented.
