As the rest of your body grows, your voice box also gets bigger and because boys develop bigger voice boxes than

girls, their voices become deeper.

Growing breasts is one of the major changes that a girl experiences during puberty.

Boys and girls both grow hair on

their bodies.

Hair grows under the arms and the hair on your arms and legs becomes longer.

As boys grow up, hair starts to grow on their faces and they will have to start shaving.

Both boys and girls will grow hair in their private area, in front of a bone called the Pubic Bone. They also grow hair under

their arms.

Both girls and boys will start to sweat more during puberty and this produces an unpleasant smell. Make sure you wash every day and use deodorant

Your body has gone through lots of changes since you were a baby. Becoming a teenager means that it will go through some more. If you are worried about

anything, just ask an adult – remember they’ve been through it !
