Understanding Your Changing Body
What is puberty?
During puberty, your body grows faster than any other time in your life, except for your very first year. It's good to be ready for the changes that come along with puberty. It's also important to know that everyone goes through it.
Girls begin to go through puberty at different ages, but it usually happens somewhere between the ages of 8 and 13.
Because everyone is different, each person enters puberty at different times. This is one of the reasons why some of
your friends might still be short, while others are very tall.
There might be some difference in the way you go through puberty because you have an illness or a disability, but
that’s okaybecause everybody grows in their own way. We are all different!
