Strategies+Jack-Michael

Step 1: Speak to a trusted adult about puberty. Parents or guardians will mention this topic, but occasionally it's best to talk to a favourite aunt or older cousin about it instead. Make sure you feel comfortable with that person. Step 2: Create a list of questions you have about your body changing (Bring this list to the trusted adult). Writing the list will help you lower anxiety. If uncomfortable to read the list to the adult you can give it to them. Step 3: Develop strategies to cope. For example, boys can help the mess of a wt dream by having a towel/tissues near the bed. Girls should suggest being fitted for a bra before their breasts start growing obviously and should always have hygienic materials accessible.

Step 4: Get ready for unnecessary notions from the year/class mates. Unfortunately, certain aspects of puberty like a voice cracking during choir or menstruating through your underwear may well happen. If they happen and it's noticeable, the best way to respond is to ignore the rude comments. Step 5: Be positive. Things in puberty such as, acne and body odour can be minimized by fine hygiene .

Step 6: Expect larger changes. Teenagers develop a lot in these stages of life. With growing comes more weight-gain. When in these times eat a healthy diet and get physical fitness/exercise, but do not starve yourself to stay the same weight. The body needs food to fuel itself to continue to mature and grow.
