What’s the normal time to go through puberty?

  • In general, most people experience it between the ages of 8–18.
  • Guys usually go through puberty later than girls.
  • Whether you start early or late won’t have anything to do with how soon puberty ends or how big your body parts will become.
  • If you are worried about any changes in your body, talk to a parent or healthcare provider.
  • If you have a disability, it could cause puberty to begin earlier or later than most people go through it. Speak to a doctor or nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
