Meaning of Puberty
What is Puberty? Puberty is the time in your life when your body starts changing from that of the child to an adult. While there is no right time for puberty to begin, girls usually start a little earlier than boys – usually between 8 and 13 years of age. Puberty for boys usually starts at about 10 to 14 years of age.

- A boy’s voice gets deeper.
