For Both Boys and Girls
- Growth Spurt: You will grow taller very quickly (about 3–5 inches per year). Your feet and hands grow first, so you might feel clumsy.
- Sweat and Acne: Glands in your skin become more active. You will sweat more and may get pimples (acne) on your face, back, or chest. Wash daily with soap and use deodorant.
- Mood Swings: One minute you feel happy, the next you feel angry or tearful. This is due to new hormones. Talk to a trusted adult—it helps.
Hygiene and body care
- Bathe regularly; use deodorant once sweating/odor begins.
- Clean genitals gently; avoid harsh soaps.
- Change underwear daily; use menstrual products (pads, tampons, menstrual cups) and follow instructions for safe use.
- Trim nails and maintain oral hygiene—changes in diet and hormones can affect skin and breath.
