what physical changes occur during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Girl or boy?: For girls, the secondary sexual characteristics change, the hips widen, the breasts develop, hair grows in an adult distribution, hormonal changes initiate ovulation and menstuation and  later on the growth plates fuse.

Question 8

what health problems are related to the physical changes experienced by teenagers during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Natural process: Since puberty is a natural process, it doesn't generally cause specific health problems.  Moodiness, and if predisposed, certain mental illnesses can be issues.  Acne is a common problem, but usually transient and relatively easy to minimize.  Boys tend to suffer with Osgood-Schlatter due to rapid bone growth during puberty (although named a 'disease', it truly isn't one).  Sleep is very important

Question 9

is it normal to have a personality change during the start of puberty?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The transition from childhood to adulthood through adolescence is stressful.  There are physical and emotional changes, along with rapidly shifting role expectations. It is not unusual for an adolescent's personality to change from week to week for a while, before settling down.

Question 10

does estrogen levels in females determine how much their faces change during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Face change/hormones: Estrogen production will certainly influence the appearance of actual body changes during puberty, and can cause acne and oily areas on one's face. The actual bony and muscular structure of the face is not generally caused by estrogen levels, since the same levels are present from early teens until mid 30's, after which the estrogen levels do increase substantially.
