Puberty

Attention: open in a new window.

Everyone experiences the changes in feelings and the way we look that come before or as we hit our teenage years, so don't feel bad about them.

As we grow older, we all change, and so do our feelings and emotions about sex and our gender. At this time, you might start to feel differently about your friendships and become more interested in relationships.

There's more to puberty than hair, mate.

At puberty, it's not just your body that's going mad. The changes to your body have probably changed the way you feel about some things or the way you think. You might start having sexual feelings or fantasies about sex, and you probably feel embarrassed or self-conscious about them. It's not bad, in fact its just a natural part of the process of growing up.
