What is Puberty?Is this you? Why do I smell so bad? Why do I sweat so much? Hair on myface, seriously! If it is you then you have officially hit puberty. Puberty is morethan just a funny word, it is the period in which Tweens go through bothphysical and mental changes because of something called hormones. In thisaddition of Adolescence R Us we will focus on making you understand pubertyand making your adolescent years easier. Puberty is the stage in which thehuman body becomes capable of sexual reproduction. Puberty is activated by

a tiny gland at the base of the called the pituitary gland.

Puberty is started when your brain releases GnRH. When GnRH reaches thepituitary gland, it then releases two more hormones these hormones go towork on different parts of the body and start Puberty

maturity but nowadaysit is not acceptable andsome cultures find it asa sign of disrespect.

The Effects of Hormones

Fun Fact:

Chocolate is associatedwith the realize ofserotonin, the hormonethat makes you feelrelaxed, calm andhappy.

You may think hormones are just stuff related to puberty or you heard it come across in one of you

science classes but to tell the truth they are actually a substance found in your body make you do

different things. Hormones have all different effects and names such as making you moody increasing

the rate of your metabolism. During Puberty there are 2 very main hormones which are Testosterone

and Estrogen. Testosterone is the male sex hormone which is needed to make sperm (more about

sperm in fertilization) it is also important to make; face hair, deeper voice which build up sexual

characteristics. Men are not the only ones with testosterone women have it too but way less than men.

For the growth and development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction. Overall estrogen

controls growth of the uterine lining during the first part of the menstrual cycle, causes changes in the

breasts during adolescence and pregnancy and regulates other metabolic related things like, bone

growth and cholesterol levels.

HAIR GROWTH

During puberty hair growth occurs

on other areas of the body besides

the head, arms and legs. For both

boys and girls, hair begins to grow inthe groin area as well as the armpits

and legs. Boys may also start to

notice more facial hair growth,

although this is not necessarily

limited to boys alone. Girls may also

see facial hair growth, although

usually less coarse and a lighter

VOICE CHANGE

For boys, puberty is also marked by

a change in voice pitch. Through

this process the voice may crack as

the body adjusts to a deeper tone of

voice. This cracking is typically

temporary until the final lower pitch

is reached.

ACNE

Acne is also a common effect of

puberty. The hormones that are

released by the body during the

process not only help the body

mature, but can also cause the

sebaceous glands to produce more

sebum oil. This excess oil can

combine with dead skin cells form

soft plugs, more commonly known

as blackheads or whiteheads. Thesebecome what we know as acne

Responsibility responsibility it happens all the time especially during your

adolescent years. An example of a new responsibility would be being involved inmaking decisions and choices. Decisions that you start to make or be involved in iswhat time you go to bed (sleep) and health, just in general and you need to makesure that they are good ones. You have to be responsible about what time you goto sleep is because it can affect schoolwork and your mood in a bad way becauseyou are tired. You have to make the right choices and be responsible about yourdiet because if your not there can be very bad symptoms including becomingwhich if you didnt know really bad. To be healthy you also have to have goodexercising habits so that your body does not go weak or overweight. Another area

that you need to be responsible about when your a teen or adolescent isorganizing your own routine. You need to start organizing your schoolwork, when itgets done, if you need help, etc etc. You also have to start being responsible aboutmeals in case your parents work and you need to make sure that you make theright choices about what you eat.
