=PHYSICAL CHANGES =  Between the ages of 10 and 14 most boys and girls begin to notice weird and sometimes uncoftoble things happening to their bodies. These changes, which occur over a number of years, are generally referred to as puberty. The changes take place in all boys an girls can start at different times and take place at different rates. Not everyone starts puberty between the ages of 10 and 14, some people start younger, and some much later. Similary with all people all the changes take place within two years, and in others they can take as long as up to four years.Generally they start between ages 7 and 13 in girls and ages 9 and 15 in boys. Puberty starts when extra amounts hormones start to be produced in the body. These hormones guide the changes that take place in the body. As well as causing physical changes these hormones also cause emotional changes.
