Puberty (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

When a young person starts to change into a young man or a young woman. Hormones cause these changes. It doesn't happen to everyone at the same time. For a girl this begins to happen between ages 8-14. Her breasts grow larger and she begins menstruating. In a boy PUBERTY starts around 12 years old. His PENIS and TESTICLES grow and develop. His voice also starts to change. Both boys and girls begin to grow pubic hair. They may also grow hair on other parts of their body. These changes are usually finished by age 20. It is also a time where feelings about self, family or other people change. Moods and emotions change, too. It can be a very confusing and frustrating time.

Puberty (Swine Production)

Puberty (Women's Health)

Time when the body is changing from the body of a child to the body of an adult. This process begins earlier in girls than in boys, usually between ages 8 and 13, and lasts 2 to 4 years.
