Female Puberty Growth and Development

As a female matures from a young girl into a woman, there are many important things to consider regarding her health and development.

    The teenage years are called adolescence. During this time, teens grow a lot in height and weight. This is when growth spurts and puberty changes happen. Everyone grows at their own pace. One teen might grow several inches in just a few months and then growth may slow down for a while before speeding up again. In some, puberty changes can happen slow or all at once.
