PUBERTY EXPLAINED

What is puberty?! Puberty is a major event that happens during adolescence. Check out our video for a quick explainer of the types of bodily changes teens go through during puberty! 🌱

Researchers who work with adolescents are faced with a tough task when trying to measure puberty. That is because everyone goes through puberty at different rates! 🧐 To estimate how far along someone might be in puberty, researchers sometimes ask teens about the bodily changes they’ve experienced. Although older teens may be well-aware of these changes, younger children and adolescents may not know as much about the topic. We hope that this video can help young teens understand puberty a bit better, and provide a starting point for parents or researchers to discuss pubertal development with them! 🤝

Special thanks to Maya Morcos for creating this video! Let us know: what questions do you have about puberty? 😊
