===It's normal===
Puberty can be a confusing experience and people always have lots of questions. These are the answers to some common questions you might like to know.
Girls:
: One breast will grow a bit quicker than the other.
: Once the breasts have grown one is often bigger than the other.
: Your first period may be unexpected so you may want to keep a sanitary towel just in case.
: You should have your first period between 10 and 15 years old. If it doesn't happen by 16 you should speak to a doctor.
: At first your period might not happen every month.
: Your period should not last more than 7 days. If it lasts longer, then you should talk to a doctor.
: The vagina sometimes releases some clear fluid. If the fluid is cloudy or yellow you should talk to a doctor.
Boys:
: One testis hangs slightly lower than the other.
: You will get random erections that can be embarrassing but are perfectly normal.
: Sometimes you will wake up with an erection.
: Have a 'wet dream' where you ejaculate in your sleep. You may want to find out how to use the washing machine if you are embarrassed.
