Puberty is when the body develops from childhood into adulthood. Girls start to turn into women, and boys start to turn into men.
Puberty for girls usually begins between 10 and 11 years old. Puberty for boys is usually around 11 or 13. But it can begin earlier or later for boys or girls — everyone is different.
Puberty is a gradual thing and everyone goes through it. Puberty happens to you even while you are getting your homework done, swimming at the beach or going to the movies. It is the body’s way of making it possible for you to have a baby later in life.
Puberty is a time of many changes. Your body changes and the way you look at the world often changes too. You might start thinking more about who you are. You might start thinking more about right and wrong. You might start feeling more emotional, and find you are up and down and down and up all in the same day.
You might feel more self-conscious. You might start thinking about love, or sex, or both. You might want to be more independent. You might want more support.
Sometimes when you’re in the middle of it, you might feel there is no one to talk to. If you can talk to your parents, give it a go.
They went through puberty too, and might be more understanding than you think.
