      Puberty

      Puberty is the bridge where you transition from childhood to adulthood. It is a bridge that every teenager crosses, experiencing a series of physical, psychological, and emotional changes.

      Your parents went through it and, as awkward as it is to find yourself with an increasingly unpleasant body odor on your way home from school or a massive pimple on your face, these changes are very natural. During these teenage years, which are also referred to as adolescence, sexual maturity and reproduction capacity are both achieved, giving you the ability to create a child. Puberty can be a scary and confusing time, but learning about it doesn’t have to be. 

      Menstruation, growth spurts, and body odor are common signs of puberty that most people are familiar with. However, not many teens comprehend the stages of puberty and the science behind all of these changes entirely. The trigger for puberty in both boys and girls is initiated by the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) from an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. This hormone initiates a spurt of hormonal changes that stimulate multiple, interconnected regulatory pathways that respond to many hormones. 

      There are numerous factors that influence puberty. The timing of puberty varies significantly across countries, with gender, genetics, and nutrition being a few of the key factors that may affect pubertal growth. For boys, puberty generally begins between the age of 12 and 13 years old. Girls tend to start puberty much sooner than boys, with an onset range between 9 and 14 years old. A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found that girls are starting puberty and exhibiting mature qualities at an unusually early age. Previous studies noted a relationship between obesity and early puberty due to the elevated circulating levels of leptin. Fat cells make leptin, and the more fat that is present in the body, the more leptin is produced, causing a trigger in the timing of puberty by binding GnRH. 

      The physical changes that occur during puberty depend on gender. Girls will notice a significant breast enlargement that begins with a little elevation of the breast called the breast bud. This is where most young girls find themselves asking for their first bra. Menstruation, an increase in height, and an overgrowth of pubic hair are also significant
