Am Growing Mom
Lots of
girls and guys worry about when their bodies will develop. Guys wonder when
their voices will get deeper, when they'll need to shave, or when their penises
will grow. Girls want to know when their breasts will develop or when they'll
get their first period. If a friend or a younger brother or sister develops
first, they may worry that there's something wrong with them.
Different Variations of Normal
Ø The fact is that physical development starts at different times
and progresses at different rates in different people. So, the beginning of the
development that comes with puberty varies from person to person — and that's
completely normal.
Ø The earliest physical change of puberty for girls is usually
breast development, which most often begins around 10 or 11 years. But it's
perfectly normal for breast development to start anytime between the ages of 8
and 13. A girl's first menstrual period usually occurs about 2 years after
breast development begins.
Ø Boys begin their development on average around age 11 or 12, but
it's also normal to begin anytime between the ages of 9 and 15. Girls and guys
who start developing earlier or later than these ranges can still be normal,
but they should be checked by their doctor just to be sure.
Ø For both boys and girls, it usually takes several years after
the first changes of puberty begin before they're all complete — and there's a
lot of variation from person to person. So, two normally developing guys or
girls who are the same age can appear quite different from each other. One can
look older and more physically mature than the other. But the one who started
later will catch up in time.
Can I Do Anything to Speed Up Development?
ü You can't do anything to make your body develop faster. Of
course, you should eat a nutritious diet, exercise, and get enough sleep. But
special diets, dietary supplements, or creams won't do anything to make normal
puberty happen quicker.
ü But some unhealthy things can interfere with development.
Steroids, like those used for bodybuilding, can cause problems with growth,
shrink testicles (and lead to breast development) in guys and shrink breasts,
disrupt menstrual cycles, and cause excessive hair growth in girls. (Steroids
can cause other serious health problems, too.) Girls who have eating disorders
or who exercise compulsively may delay their development and hurt their health.
A number of medical conditions can also delay puberty and development.
ü If you're a girl who's 13 or older or a boy who's 15 or older
and you haven't shown any signs of puberty (or if you're younger but are still
worried), talk with your doctor. Most of the time everything is just fine, but
the doctor can determine if there's a problem. And if there is a problem,
there's almost always treatment available that will help you develop.
