Physical changes in adolescence
When our sons and daughters reach puberty, physical changes begin to occur that we will notice little by little, such as in the voice, hair, etc.
With the arrival of adolescence, the body undergoes a series of physical, psychological and social changes that will cause a before and after in the person himself. All these important changes that appear during puberty will help to build the person in question and the way in which they will act in front of society in general. Then I will explain to you in a much more detailed way what these physical changes will consist of in such an important stage of life for any person such as adolescence.

CHANGES IN ADOLESCENCE
There is a gland found in the brain that is responsible for the body undergoing a series of changes at the time of adolescence and puberty. Its name is pituitary and through it a series of hormones are produced that spread throughout the body and that act in both the male and female reproductive organs, giving rise to a series of quite important physical changes. In men there is a production of sperm in the testicles while in women there is a release of eggs in addition to menstruation.
These physical changes will occur earlier in women than in men. In women it occurs between 10 and 12 years, while in men it occurs between 12 and 14 years. After these ages and the arrival of puberty, the body will continue to have different changes, although it is at that age when they are much more intense and quite evident. In addition, each person is different and can suffer these changes sooner or later with respect to other adolescents . Therefore, there will be people who begin to experience some other physical change at age 11 and others who do not undergo any type of change until the arrival of 14 years.
