    Puberty is a stage of rapid physical change that occurs between ages 10-17 as boys and girls develop into adults. During puberty, hormones cause the body to grow and reproductive organs to mature. For girls, this includes breast development, wider hips, and the start of menstruation. For boys, changes involve increased height and muscle mass, broadening of the shoulders, growth of body and facial hair, and voice deepening. The document provides information about the normal physical changes that occur during puberty.

    Lets Study This

    Puberty is a stage of life of rapid change. At this stage, boys and


    girls begin to grow and develop into adults. Their feelings also begin
    to change.
    Puberty starts when your body begins to produce hormones. The
    hormones change your body and develop your reproductive organs.
    You are no longer a child but instead an adolescent.
    Puberty usually happens between the ages of 10-16 in girls, and
    10-17 in boys.
    If you are a girl, you start to grow taller, your breast begin to
    develop. Your body shape likewise changes. Your waist is more
    noticeable and your hips are wider. A whitish discharge from your
    vagina begins to come out. This is a sign that you are going to have
    your first period or menstruation.
    If you are a boy, you start to increase in height. Your shoulder
    starts to grow broader faster than your hips. Your muscle size
    increases. Your voice begins to be deeper and your Adams apple
    noticeable. Your penis, and testes begin to enlarge.
    The changes you have observed and experienced during puberty
    are all completely normal. However, these changes all happen at
    different ages for different people.

    Lets Remember This

    Puberty is the age at which bodily changes occur in both


    males and females.
    Puberty is the period or age at which the female and male
    reproductive systems are ready to function.
    At puberty, a boys height increases rapidly, his voice
    changes, adams apple appears, his reproductive organs
    increase in size, her reproductive organs increase in size,
    pubic hair and underarm hair grow and menstrual flow
    starts.
    The menstrual flow indicates that a girl is already capable
    of reproductive.

    Science Fact File

    We know that beautiful hair in a women can be very attractive, but we


    must assume that hair on human beings formerly played a more
    practical role than it does now. When a baby is born he is covered with
    a fine down. This is soon replaced by the delicate hair which we notice
    in all children. Then comes the age of puberty, and this coat which the
    person will have as an adult.
    The development of this adult hair is regulated by the sex glands. The
    male sex hormone works in such a way that the beard and body hair
    are developed, while the growth of the hair on the head is inhibited, or
    slowed down in development.
    The action of the female sex hormone is exactly the opposite! The
    growth of the hair on the head is developed, while the growth of the
    beard and body hair is inhibited, so women dont have beards because
    various glands and hormones in their bodies deliberately act to prevent
    this growth.
    The custom of shaving was introduced to England by the Saxons.
    Barbers first appeared in Roman times in 300BC. Nowadays, there is a
    great variety of facial hair-styles from beards and moustaches to the
    clean-shaven effect.
