There are many variations of puberty and the timing of puberty in girls can vary considerably. Sometimes girls can already feel changes as early as 8 years of age. At the same time other girls of the similar age do not begin their adolescent development until age 13. In average girls usually take 3 to 3 ½ years to complete their pubertal development, but this process could take from 2 to 6 years to complete.
Puberty includes the complex of physical and emotional changes. Mood swings, easy anger and loss of emotional control are common. The emotional turbulence may last longer than the time span of physical development. Puberty is pretty stressful period of the life. It is time of hormonal storms, it is time for body changes and it is time for first love.
In general girls are very sensitive to breast development which is very important for their social life and confidence. Breast development stages for healthy girls were developed by famous Dr Tanner many years ago. Healthy girls usually are passing 5 stages in breast development. Knowledge about breast development is very important for teenagers and their parents.
