Puberty for Boys
There are lots of signs that a boy is growing up.
Most boys begin puberty somewhere between the ages of 9 and
14 – but it’s different for everyone.
Your body will start to change when it is ready
and everyone grows at his own pace!
Larynx - Voice
Your voice will gradually deepen but until this settles down you
could sound croaky and produce some interesting sounds! This is
your voice breaking.
Sweat
Hormones can make you sweaty and spotty – good personal
hygiene (washing and deodorising) is all important.
Hair
Armpits, legs, arms, face, chest and the
pubic region all become more hairy.
Height
Your body keeps growing until you reach a height that you will stay
at. You may become more muscular too.
Penis, Scrotum and Testicles
Your penis and testicles grow.
They may sometimes feel uncomfortable and due to your body
producing more hormones (testosterone is one of these).
Emotion - Hormones
The extra hormones may also cause you to have mood swings but this
will improve in time as your body grows
and you come to understand it.
Puberty for Girls
Puberty for girls starts between 8 and 14. It happens at

different times for different girls but your body will begin to
change when it is ready.
Emotion - Hormones
The hormones in your body that cause changes
to occur during puberty may also affect your
mood. You may have highs and lows and feel a
bit more emotional.
Sweat Glands
Sweat glands become bigger and more active, causing you to sweat more.
Personal hygiene (washing) is important and you may want to start using
deodorant/antiperspirant when this happens.
Hair
Hair will begin to grow under your arms and in your pubic region. The texture of
the hair on your head may also change a little
due to hormones.
Growing
Your breasts will start to get bigger, your hips will start to get wider and you may
find that some girls are growing taller than the boys.
This is because boys’ puberty begins a little later than girls
but most of them will catch you up.
Menstruation
Otherwise known as ‘periods’, this monthly bleeding will start at some time
during puberty and is part of your body’s monthly cycle. The average is to have
a period every 28 days which lasts 3-4 days.
You may get period pains. This can feel like a tummy ache but lower down and,
like tummy ache there are different types of pain.
