The changes take place differently in the body of boys and girls at puberty. These change may be listed as below: -There is sudden increase in the height of both boys and girls. However, both reach their maximum height at the age of 17 to 18 years. -The voice of boys become hoarse and that of girls become shrill. -Shoulders become broader and muscles grow more prominently in boys. In girls, the regions below the waist becomes wider. -Hair start growing in different parts of boys and girls. -In most of the teenagers, due to increased secretion of sweat and sebaceous gland, get acne and pimples on their face. -Onset of puberty brings changes in secondary sexual characters in both male and female. -Boys and girls become capable of reproduction. -In girls, menstruation starts. -Different types of hormones start to release in initiating a reproductive function.
