Puberty

Puberty is the normal physical process of transition from childhood to adulthood. As well as a time of multiple physical changes, puberty is also a time of significant emotional and social change. It usually begins between ages 8 and 14 for girls and 9 and 13 for boys. During puberty, older children and teens experience both sexual changes as well as growth spurts which may be difficult to navigate.

Adolescence

This is the teenage phase lasting from 13 years to 18 years. Teenagers go through very drastic and significant mental, physical and emotional changes during this stage. This is the time when they develop their identity and their personality.
