Coping Puberty Step 1 Talk to an adult about puberty. Parents will usually speak to you about this, but make sure you choose an adult you feel comfortable with. A favourite Aunt or Uncle is best if you’re too ashamed from your parents. Step 2 During puberty, you can make a list of questions about what is going on with your body, and then talk to a trustful adult, you may write some notes down and give it to a parent if you’re troubled to talk about it yourself. Step 3 Be prepared for comments from schoolmates about physical changes from your body, the best way is to ignore them. Step 4 Have a clean hygiene. Certain aspects of puberty like acne and body odour can be countered with having a good wash. These mostly occur after you have been exercising and sweat allot. Step 5 Expect a lot of changes. Kids grow a lot during puberty and that also comes with weight change. Eat a healthy diet and exercise daily, but don’t try to starve yourself, its unhealthy and your body needs energy from food to grow.
