How Does Reaching Adolescence - Puberty | Don't Memorise Work?

Reaching adolescence is like upgrading from a toy car to a real race car, your body starts changing and growing faster than ever before.

During puberty, your body goes through big changes because of special messages sent from your brain to different parts of your body. These messages are like instructions telling your body, “It’s time to grow up!”

Your hormones, which are like tiny messengers in your blood, start working harder. They tell your skin to make more oil, your voice to get deeper (or higher for girls), and your hair to grow in new places.

Think of puberty as a secret party that your body throws when you're around 10 to 14 years old. Everyone at the party has their own role: some make your height jump, others help you grow facial hair or get a bigger chest, and some even change how you feel, like getting more excited about things or feeling more emotional.

It's not magic, it’s just your body growing up in its own special way! Reaching adolescence is like upgrading from a toy car to a real race car, your body starts changing and growing faster than ever before.
