WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE.
Puberty is the time when your body starts to change and grow into an adult’s body. You’ll notice physical changes, like growing taller, getting hair in new places, and for girls, starting their period. Your emotions might also feel more intense, and you might experience mood swings. These changes happen at different times for everyone, so it’s normal if you and your friends go through puberty at different ages. It’s all part of growing up.
DEALING WITH THE CHANGE.
Puberty can feel confusing at times, but there are ways to cope with the changes. It helps to talk to someone you trust, like a parent or teacher, when you’re unsure or worried. Keeping healthy habits like eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying active can also make your body feel better. When it comes to emotional changes, try activities like journaling, drawing, or even talking to a friend to help manage your feelings.
ASKING FOR HELP.
If you ever feel overwhelmed by the changes during puberty, remember that it’s okay to ask for help. Puberty is a big transition, and everyone goes through it differently. Talking to an adult about what you’re experiencing can help you feel supported and better understand what’s happening. It’s completely normal to have questions, and learning about the changes your body is going through can make the whole process easier.
