Because of this change several other issues also prop up in students related to sanitation, behavioral problems, etc. Many schools have noticed that kids of this age show lot of change impacting their studies. Few girls become very shy, stop coming to school. On other hand, boys get aggressive, start arrogant and unruly activities and becomes dificult to control.
