Life factors that influence the development of individuals
These are all life factors that could possibly affect an adolescence at any given time and how they affect their physical, emotionally, social and intellectual development.
Genetic: Iron deficiency Anaemia
Anaemia is the reduction of either red blood cells because you don’t have enough iron in your body to produce the red blood cells. If you have fewer blood cells in your body then your organs and tissues won’t get an efficient amount of oxygen that they need. This can be common in girl adolescents because they lose blood during their menstrual cycle so can affect them more.
There is more than one type of anaemia but this is the most common.
Physical
This can cause you to have less energy throughout the day because it reduces the amount of oxygen the blood is able to carry which can cause exercises such as running, to make you run out of breathe quicker.
Processes inside the body such as muscular activity and cell building and repair is slowed down resulting in it being less efficient.
Intellectual
Due to anaemia affecting your energy levels you may suffer with dizziness and light-headedness which means you are unable to concentrate with your work and think clearly.
If you’re constantly tired then that affects your concentration levels so you may not understand everything as quickly as you usually would.
Emotional
Emotionally you may feel completely drained and constantly tired all the time which could cause mood swings or you could be unhappy all the time if you’re tired. Depending on the type of anaemia you have sometimes you have to eat iron and protein to prevent this so you may feel pressured or forced into eating certain foods because they have a higher protein and iron levels.
Social
Anaemia can affect you socially because you won’t have the energy to go out and socialise with people so you may stay in the house and sleep rather than go out shopping or go to the cinema with your friends.
