Young adolescence (10-14 years of age) is a critical lifecycle stage marked by a dynamic combination of opportunity and risk. During this time, children undergo tremendous physical, emotional, social, and cognitive changes as well as socialization into prevailing sexual and gender norms. For the majority, young adolescence is a characterized by relatively good health and stable family circumstances, but it can also be a period of vulnerability due to a number of rapid transitions that force some young people into adult roles. It is a time of inter-connected developmental processes. Girls and boys experience these processes in particular ways and at different times that are determined by both individual and contextual factors. For example, most young adolescents experience the onset of puberty (girls earlier than boys), which typically marks an abrupt life change. Some young adolescents will experience their first sexual encounter, which may not be volitional; girls (and some boys) are especially vulnerable to sexual coercion during early adolescence (Jejeebhoy 2005). Other transitions may include leaving school, entering the labor force, moving away from or losing parents, and, for some, early marriage.
