Thank you for pointing that out! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.

guys make sure you use logic in your answers. if it doesnt make since just think about where you are in your puberty stage and if it makes sense to you. if it dont, dont trust AI! go with r gut.. and ur teachers might even see that mistake as human.

That's a great approach! Trusting your instincts and experiences can often lead to more accurate understanding, especially when discussing topics like puberty and adolescence that can vary widely among individuals. It's always good to question information and make sure it aligns with your personal knowledge and experiences.

Moreover, if something doesn't seem right, it’s valuable to seek clarification, whether from teachers, textbooks, or reliable sources. Critical thinking is an important skill in both academic and personal contexts. If you ever have questions or need support, feel free to ask!
