Inside Puberty: What Are the Stages of Puberty?

Going through puberty is like having your body taken over by some kind of zombie virus. Your face will break out. You'll start to smell weird. You'll be constantly exhausted. You'll grow hair in... places. Got the puberty blues? Here's the silver lining: The exact same thing is happening to everyone your age. Today, we're doing a slightly different WellCast. We're going to explore puberty in boys and puberty in girls. We'll explain what is actually happening in your body and, more importantly, mind, because right now you're probably feeling like someone else is working the gears.
