Puberty & Changes
Understand physical and emotional changes during puberty
Understanding Puberty
Puberty is the time when your body changes from a child's body to an adult's body. It usually starts between ages 9 and 14. Hormones cause physical changes like growing taller, developing body hair, and changes in body shape.
Example
Changes During Puberty
Physical changes: growth spurts, skin may become oily (pimples), body odour increases, voice deepens (especially in boys). Emotional changes: mood swings, new feelings about friends and peers, wanting more independence. These changes are completely normal.
Note
Remember
Everyone goes through puberty at their own pace. Take extra care with hygiene — use deodorant and bath daily. Talk to a trusted adult if you feel confused or worried about the changes.
