What is puberty?
• Puberty is between childhood and adulthood
• Puberty marks the beginning of becoming a woman
• During puberty, bodies begin to mature – Your body will start to look more like my body
• Breasts will develop
• Menstruation will start
• Body hair will appear
• Adolescence begins – Emotional changes
![Page 7: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What will happen first?
• You’ll develop breast “buds” – Your nipples will
“pop” out
– Your breasts will begin to grow
– They may grow at different speeds.
• Shortly after, you’ll start to grow pubic hair
![Page 8: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is menstruation?
• God’s way of getting your body ready to become a mother someday
• Happens every month
• Is a month long cycle
• You’ll see it for only 5 to 7 days per month
![Page 9: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What will I see?
• You’ll notice “spotting” at first
– Small amount of blood on your underwear
• The spotting will get heavier, but won’t be too heavy
• This will get heavier in the middle, then lighter at the end
• This will repeat every month
![Page 10: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Will it hurt?
• NO!!!
• The bleeding does not hurt at all, in fact, you probably won’t feel it!
• You may feel cramping before, during, or after your menstruation, but the bleeding will not hurt.

What does it look like?
![Page 12: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Do my friends know about this?
• Some of your friends might know already, but some may not – It’s best to keep this quiet for now
– Puberty is private
• Your friends might call menstruation something else – Period
– “rag”
– “Aunt Flow”
– “That time of the month”
– “My friend”
![Page 13: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What do I do about this?
• Be prepared before you start menstruation – Know how to use a “pad” or “sanitary
napkin”
• Change your pad regularly – At least every 4 hours, but sooner if you
need to – Change your pad if it is full or if it starts to
smell
• Throw used pads away – Wrap your pad in toiled paper and throw it
away – Most public bathrooms have a special trash
can in the stall – NEVER flush your pad down the toilet
![Page 14: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What does a pad look like and how do I use it??
• The pad has a “sticker” on the bottom
• Stick the pad on your underwear
![Page 15: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What if I don’t look like everyone else?
• That’s completely normal
• Breasts and hips come in many different sizes
• Some girls voices will get lower than others
• It’s ok to be the only one who started puberty OR to be the only one who didn’t!
![Page 16: Puberty Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020200/568c33b91a28ab02358dc7a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Am I normal?
• YES!
– This happens to every girl
– It’s ok to go through puberty at a different time than your friends
– It’s ok to be confused
– It’s ok to ask questions to an adult you trust
– It’s ok to have questions or to ask us for help

Things to remember during this journey
• We were once your age – We’ve been through puberty, too! – We’ve felt the way you feel now – We may even have some funny or helpful
stories if you ask!
• God knows you and loves you better than anyone else – He will listen to you when you feel like no one
understands – He loves you no matter what – He understands how you feel before you even
feel it!
