What is puberty?

During puberty a lot of changes can happen. During this time your body may undergo many physical changes. Puberty can be a stressful time. Your emotions may become stronger and your body goes through more changes than at any other time in your life. You may notice that friends will go through these changes before or after you, but that’s totally normal! Typically puberty for males starts anywhere from the ages of 9-15 years old, and for females puberty can start anywhere from as early as 8 to 13 years old. However, every “body” is different, and it really depends on the individual.
