**Teen Survival Pamphlet — Navigating Puberty & Adolescence**

Imagine you are a Certified Family Life Educator and have been asked to create a short **pamphlet for teenagers who are going through puberty**. Your goal is to explain developmental changes in a way that is accurate, supportive, and easy for teenagers to understand. The goal is to translate developmental science into useful information that teenagers can understand and apply to their lives.

**Step 1: Choose at Least TWO Topics**

Your pamphlet should address at least **TWO topics** from this week's materials. You may choose from:

– **Surviving Puberty:** Physical changes, hormones, growth spurts, or differences in the timing of puberty
– **Understanding Eating Disorders:** Risk factors, warning signs, and why eating disorders are serious
– **Understanding Your Changing Brain:** How adolescent brain development influences thinking and decision-making
– **What You Should Know About Vaping, Smoking, Alcohol, and Other Drugs:** Why substance use can be particularly risky during adolescence

**Step 2: Create Your Pamphlet**

For **each of your two topics**, include: (21 points for each concept*2 = 42 points)

1. **What should teenagers know?** Explain the concept accurately using teen-friendly language. Focus on information that would actually be useful to an adolescent.
2. **Why does it matter?** Connect your advice to a specific concept or finding from this week's course materials. Explain how it relates to development during adolescence.
3. **What can teenagers do?** Provide at least one practical strategy or recommendation that teenagers could realistically use to support their health and development.

**Format Options**

You are welcome to be creative with your pamphlet, but visual design is **not** required. You may:

– Use Canva, Adobe, PowerPoint, or another design program to create your pamphlet.
– Hand-draw and handwrite your pamphlet and upload a clear picture or scan.
– Create a simple document without elaborate design.
– If you do not want to create visuals, you may describe in text what your pamphlet would look like and provide the written content.

**Important:** You will be graded on the **quality, accuracy, and application of the information you provide,** not on the visual appearance or design of your pamphlet **.** Artistic or technology skills will not affect your grade.
