Growing Up: Changes & Choices

A Guide to Puberty for Boys and Girls

Puberty is not an illness, and it is not something to be afraid of. It is the name for the two to five years when your body changes from a child’s body into an adult body capable of reproduction (having a baby). For most girls, this begins between ages 8 and 13. For most boys, it starts a little later, between ages 9 and 14. Everyone moves at their own pace. Growing Up: Changes & Choices A Guide to

Part 1: What Causes the Changes?

The changes of puberty are triggered by hormones. These are chemical messengers produced by the body’s endocrine system. For Boys: The testes begin to produce the

For Boys: The testes begin to produce the hormone testosterone.
For Girls: The ovaries begin to produce the hormone estrogen.

These hormones travel through the bloodstream, signaling the body to grow and change. These hormones travel through the bloodstream, signaling the

The 1991 Aesthetic: High Quality and "The Video Age"

When we describe these materials as "high quality," we refer to the production value of the era. In 1991, schools frequently utilized educational videos that were a step up from the grainy films of the 1970s. These videos featured:

Detailed Anatomy: Unlike the vague diagrams of previous decades, 1991 materials often featured high-gloss medical illustrations or 3D models showing the reproductive systems with scientific precision.
The "Teen Cast": A hallmark of the era was the use of diverse teen casts acting out scenarios in school settings, discussing peer pressure, hygiene, and emotional changes.
Scientific Neutrality: The tone was objective. The focus was on biology—hormones, anatomy, and physiology—taught with the same rigor as a biology lab.

The Biology

Male Contribution: Sperm are produced in the testes.
Female Contribution: Ova (eggs) are stored in the ovaries.
Fertilization: If a sperm joins with an egg, fertilization occurs, leading to pregnancy.

Part 4: Changes Specific to Boys

Testicles & Penis: The testicles (where sperm are made) will grow larger. The scrotum (the sac that holds them) will darken and hang lower. The penis will get longer and wider.
Nocturnal Emissions ("Wet Dreams"): Once your body starts making sperm (usually around age 12-14), you may wake up to find a sticky, white fluid (semen) on your sheets or pajamas. This happened while you were asleep. It is a sign your body is working correctly. It is not an accident, and you cannot control it. Just wash up in the morning.
Spontaneous Erections: Your penis may suddenly get hard and stand up for no reason—in class, on the bus, in the pool. This is not sexual. It is caused by blood flow. It will go away in a minute or two. Do not panic.
Shoulders & Muscles: Your shoulders will get broader, and you will naturally gain more muscle mass than girls do.
