 **Growing!** Puberty can also cause you to go a growth spurt, which results in an average growth of about 4.1 inches a year. These growth spurts, can often include what are called growing pains. Growing pains are aches to the muscle which usually occur after strenuous activity. While growing can be the cause of many body image issues, growing is essential as it allows your body to adjust into adult life as a fully grown person.

As well as underarm hair growth, your sweat and oil producing glands also start developing, which eventually results in acne when these glands are clogged. Acne can cause many traumas for an adolscent but it should be remembered that acne is something that almost every teenager goes through. Acne is something which usually goes away once a person has reached adulthood.
