While reading this Chapter on Puberty and Biological Foundations, I could not help but think of the underlying reasons why the puberty stages have changed over the past 147 years. I wanted to have a better understanding of the 5 stages that females experience. I found http://www.puberty101.com/p_pubgirls.shtml website that gave me a very easy overview. Stage One usually begins between the age of 8-11,for females tells us that there re no outward changes by the overaies a enlarging. The Second Stage usually ages 8-14; average 11-12 the first outward appearances are the enlarging of the breasts. Stage Three usually ages 9-15; average 12-13, the breast continues to grow and pubic hairs begin to grow. Stage Four usually age 10-16; average 13-14, pubic hairs take on a triangular shape signs of adulthood, ovulation begins eggs are release but cycle as not yet started. Stage 5 usually age 12-19; average 15 is the final stage of development when the pubic hair and the breast growth is complete. Menstural periods begin and ovulations is monthly, the female adulthood is complete. So many years of changes, I now understand why women are considered emotional. Who would not be emotional when you have years of not knowing what is going to happen from day to day.
