When girls hit puberty they will have an increase in hair growth on their legs, armpits and pubic area. The hormones released during puberty are responsible for the development of breasts, widening of the hips, and the growth of pubic hair. Periods can last anywhere from 2-8 days and the average cycle is 28-32 days.

A period, also known as menstruation, is a normal and natural bodily process that occurs in people with female reproductive systems. It happens approximately once a month when the body sheds the lining of the uterus through the vagina. This process is triggered by hormonal changes in the body and typically lasts for a few days to a week. During this time, a person may experience various physical and emotional symptoms, such as cramping, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and headaches. It's important to note that periods are a normal part of a person's reproductive health and should not be stigmatized or shamed. Managing periods typically involves using menstrual products such as pads, tampons, or menstrual cups, which are designed to absorb or collect the menstrual flow. It's important to change these products regularly to maintain good hygiene and prevent infections.
