Our bodies grow and undergo changes from the moment we are conceived. From babies, we become infants, children and then on to adolescents. Adolescents are children aged 10-19, though we commonly say “teenagers”.
At the transition from childhood to adolescence period, our bodies produce certain hormones which lead to bodily changes called Puberty. Puberty is natural way of transforming a child into an adult. Puberty is the stage where both girls and boys will go through many changes including physical, emotional, psychological and social. While both girls and boys go through puberty, girls in general reach puberty and sexual maturity at earlier ages than boys do. Some of us develop faster and some later. Puberty normally occurs from the ages 10-16.
It is important that you understand changes in your body so it can be a positive and enriching experience. By knowing our bodies, we can love, respect and protect ourselves. Let’s explore it together.
