Puberty is the time when people change from a child to an adult. Puberty is different for everyone – but we all experience physical, emotional and social changes. During puberty, your sexual organs mature and having a baby becomes possible. Everyone goes through puberty. When your body is ready to begin puberty, your pituitary gland releases hormones which cause changes in your body. You can expect a lot of changes both physically and emotionally. Your body shape may start to change, you may get acne, grow hair on your legs, underarms and pubic area and you may sweat more.
There are also social and emotional changes that happen during puberty, like being more interested in what your friends think, and becoming more aware of your emotions.
