What is Puberty?

Puberty is . . .

• realizing you smell sweaty and not so good anymore
• wishing your hair looked different
• not understanding why Dad no longer makes sense
• feeling funky and not knowing why
• looking at girls/boys in a way you never did before
• changing your interest
• finding hair under your arms and on your legs
• wanting to be alone sometimes, just to think
• finding out your brother/sister is silly and gets on your nerves
• your body feels funny
• realizing your Mom doesn't know you
• wanting to be with your friends more than you want to be with your family
• wanting to dress different
• wanting to be more like your friends, instead of just being you
• feeling scared because you don't know you anymore

Oh and what about

• zits
• dirty fingernails (didn't matter before)
