Growing up

#puberty

When you're growing up you might make decisions without thinking of the impact it has on others and you might react badly when your parents question your actions. This is what can lead to falling out with them. Don’t worry, this is normal and puberty is hard for parents too.

As the journey from childhood to adulthood might start and end between the ages of 12 - 25 (adolescence), the emotional rollercoaster you find yourself on may continue into your twenties causing frustration to you and your parents.

This is normal and as you get older you may start to consider others and see things from their point of view. You may feel more able to take responsibility for your actions and there'll be times when you feel comfortable saying sorry to those around you and admitting mistakes have happened.

Girl life

I am 10. I got my first bra at 9 and haven't started my period yet. Boobs are big but not too big and hair is everywhere. Cramps come out of the blue all the time and I have a crush and a girlfriend. Everyone is different because one of my friend's got their first bra at 7 and is 11 and hasn't started their period. Whereas another of my friends doesn't have a bra or period but has loads of hair. It all depends on when your body thinks it is a good time to start puberty. Bye
