Girls' puberty stages

[Anon53]

Hey girls... Just curious about what stages there are in terms of puberty for girls and like the sequencing of everything (breast dev't, menstruation, etc.) Maybe describe your progress if you'd like...

Puberty in girls usually starts between the ages of 8 and 13 and ends by around 14. For boys, puberty usually starts between 10 and 14, and ends by around 15 or 16.

For girls, one of the first signs of puberty usually is their breasts starting to grow.

Getting your period (menstruation) usually happens later, around two years after breast growth starts.

In between, you’ll probably start to see more hair in places like under your arms and in your pubic area.

Puberty involves big changes to your shape, including getting taller (which stops when puberty ends).

What's above is pretty accurate, it's not always going to be the same with all girls but it's usually fairly close. It can begin at different ages (11-12 is probably the most 'normal'), sometimes the order can be different, and happen at different rates, but for the most part those are the changes and it tends to occur a little earlier for girls.
