growth phase

Description

A growth phase is the period when idealized expectations force unsolicited changes on body and mind. Height shoots up abruptly, joints cry out, and in front of the mirror self-loathing and envy collide. Parents rejoice, peers cast indifferent glances, and society moves on oblivious to the suffering. By the time the pain subsides, no one recalls the agony—only survivors of the rite remember.
