**Boys:** When boys go through puberty you experience physical changes in your body. Some of the physical changes are that pubic hair starts to grow at the bottom part of the male genital area and your scrotum starts to increase in size. The penis starts to get longer and a bit wider. Another physical change is that boys start to get erections, which they try to cover up. As you go further into puberty the pubic hair starts to become darker, more coarse and the hair starts to grow more. The penis’ head starts to develop and the skin on the scrotum gets darker. The hair from your genital will eventually spread to your thighs as well. When you hit puberty you start to grow taller and this usually averages out to 4.1 inches every year. Before you start to increase in height your head, hands and feet usually start to grow first. After you start to grow taller the torso and your shoulders will start and they will eventually get up to the other parts of your body. Whilst going through puberty boys may get slight breast increases but these should disappear at the end of your pubic years. Whilst you go through puberty your voice breaks and this is when your voice gets starts to get deeper. You start to get a thing on your face called facial hair, this starts at the top part of your lip and cheeks. The hair then starts to finally go to your chin and the sides of your face. Another place where the hair starts to grow is your underarms, the underarms hair starts to grow at the time your facial hair starts to. Acne is another physical change that occurs during puberty. This is where your glands that produce sweat and oil gets clogged and this then leads to pimples forming. www.pamf.org/teen/health/puberty/physicalchanges.html#Physical Changes for Males **Girls:** When girls go through puberty they experience very different changes in the body than boys. As the girls go through puberty their chest starts to get little bumps, which in other words are called breast buds. Whilst the breasts continue to grow their nipples start to feel tingling. It is very likely that one breast will always be bigger than another until the breasts are fully developed and then the breasts will become about the same size. Whilst going through puberty the girls waist line will continuously get wider and more round. Girls will start to get a thing called pubic hair that starts to grow around the vagina. At the start of this it will be all straight but as the girl gets further through puberty it will become thick and curly. She will also start to get hair on her underarms and her legs, which as time progresses will also get thicker and curlier.  When a girl goes through puberty she will end up having her first period. This is where blood starts to come out from the vagina. This may last for a little amount of time or a bit longer but the amount of blood that comes out will vary. []
