Teens

UPA understands that being a teen today is much different than it was when your parents were young.  One thing that hasn’t changed though, is the way a teenager’s body develops.  Believe it or not, your parents experienced exactly what you are going through now.  It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the best place to start any discussion about your health is with your parents.

 

To help you get started, here are some links to sites with more information about teenagers and the unique issues affecting their health.  If you have any questions, please discuss them with your parents, and be ready to talk about them with your doctor on your next visit to UPA.
