Right to health of adolescents 2016, para. 11
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Adolescence is a period of development towards increasing capacity for independent decision-making, moving away from the protective environments associated with earlier childhood. It is accompanied by greater experimentation, risk-taking and impulsivity and by the increased influence of the peer group. These behaviours contribute to building resilience, character and self-confidence and to the exploration and understanding of boundaries, and reflect the gradual adjustment from protection towards autonomy. Accordingly, while adolescents under 18 years of age continue to be entitled to protection from violence, abuse and exploitation, as well as to consideration of their best interests, under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the nature of those protections and their application must reflect the emerging competencies acquired throughout adolescence.
