At what age does a girl begin puberty?
On average, girls start puberty between the ages of 9-16. Puberty is a time of change when a girl begins to become a woman who will be capable of reproduction. During this time girls begin to menstruate, grow larger breasts, their hips widen and their waists narrow. Aside from the physical changes, being a woman means respecting yourself and others enough to take responsibility for your actions, make decisions that aren’t always easy and stand up for what you believe in.
