The others indicated hypertension. 7 The sweat glands are located primarily in the axillary, genital, and periumbilical areas and are the primary source of body odor. The sebaceous glands are located primarily on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, chest, and genitals. They can become clogged and inflamed, leading to acne, a common teenage condition. 8 During the growth spurt, adolescents may manifest signs of a common skeletal deformity called scoliosis, which is a lateral S-shaped curvature of the spine. 9 Piaget's theory used the term formal to represent the emergence of the ability to focus on the "form" of thoughts, objects, and experiences rather than on the exact content, which in turn lays the groundwork for abstract thinking. 10 Introspection combines with a re-emergence of egocentrism, leading to their sense of being the primary focus- special, unique, and exceptional. Being an exceptional adolescent means being the exception, thinking that nothing can happen to them but only to others. This type of thought contributes to risk-taking behavior.
