Puberty is an exciting time full of change.

The more you know about what’s going on with your body, the more confident you’ll feel as your body (and mind!) mature.

What are the stages of puberty?

Well, we’ve outlined the stages of puberty in girls for you here, so you know what stage of puberty you’re in and what to expect next. That way you can progress through puberty with poise and confidence.

Puberty starts for most girls around the age of 10. However, some girls start puberty earlier or later than this, and that’s perfectly okay.

Most girls tend to start puberty around the same age as their mum did. So ask your mum when she went through these changes to get a good idea of when you can expect to go through them, too.

Puberty typically ends by the age of 16 for most girls.
