**Growth spurts are something to look forward to during puberty, which is when you grow much taller than you were before, and it happens almost overnight. This will go on for about 2-5 years and after every growth spurt you will be a little uncoordinated but that goes away. At the peak of your growth spurt, you could grow up to 4 inches in a year! Weight gain and muscle growth is another thing to look forward to as you feel allot stronger than you were before and you can do more things than you could before. Also guys get wider shoulders that come with it. For guys your voice gets deeper and you will start to become attracted to your opposite sex and experience feelings you never have before, such as orgasms. Girls get curvier and their hips get wider. You become an adult.**

** Some bad things about puberty. ** ​ **Some bad parts of puberty include acne, it can cause low self esteem, it is ugly, and it can cause scarring if you don't treat it properly. Another bad part of puberty is voice breaks, or they are also known as testipops, to deal with this you just have to realise most other boys have the exact same thing every once in a while, it's completely normal. For some people the hair is a problem, and they say they hate it, but this is also very normal. For allot of kids, watching porn is an urge they get sometimes, but it is about the most embarrasing thing in the world if someone catches you. Also for girls, mood swings from periods and menstrational cramps can be a problem. One of the most embarrasing things for boys is getting random erections for no reason.**

​** To deal with all of this you just have to realise everything your going through is completely normal, and it will stop. **
