    This day was after my 10 birthday, I was going through puberty by receiving a menstruation cycle. I remember experiencing heavy flow and dealing with a variety of emotions. On page 54, "Her first menstruation (menarche) occurs rather late in the pubertal cycle. Initially, her menstrual cycles may be highly irregular, and for the first several years she might not ovulate in every cycle. In some instances, a female does not become fertile until two years after her period begins." (santrock, 2019).

    when I start having birth control implants, my hormones changed and become sexual activity. I become very emotions and binge eating due to my birth control. this is an example of this statement "Thus, hormones do not function independently; hormonal activity is influenced by many environmental factors, including parent-adolescent relationships. Stress, eating patterns, sexual activity, and depression can also activate or suppress various aspects of the hormone system" (santrock,2019)
