Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The preadolescence developmental stage (puberty) signals the development of secondary sex characteristics. Physical changes often begin 2 years earlier in girls than in boys. Preadolescents usually develop best friends with whom they share intimate feelings. New interest in the oppo-site sex develops in the preadolescence developmental stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
A warning sign that a teenager is considering suicide includes verbalization of suicidal thoughts. Appetite disturbances, usually a decrease in appetite, may be a warning sign that a teenager is considering suicide. A decrease in school performance and loss of initiative are possible warning signs that a teenager is considering suicide. Sleep disturbances, such as the inability to sleep, are a warning sign for suicide.
