Adolescence (lat adolescere = (to) grow)
is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development that occurs
between childhood and adulthood. This transition involves biological (i.e.
pubertal), social, and psychological changes, though the biological or
physiological ones are the easiest to measure objectively. Historically, puberty
has been heavily associated with teenagers and the onset of adolescent
development. In recent years, however, the start of puberty has seen an increase
in preadolescence and extension beyond the teenage years, making adolescence
less simple to discern.

connected in many ways, to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings and

again, and the pieces used to make other objects. Kits are sold which contain
all necessary pieces for a particular project, or some hobbyists try to collect,
buy, and sell various other pieces in different shapes and colors, to construct
other hobbyist-created designs. The toys were originally designed in the 1940s
in Europe and have achieved an international appeal, with an extensive
subculture that supports Lego movies, games, competitions, and four Lego-themed
