definition

-------------

Puberty is the period of human development during which physical growth and sexual maturation occurs.

Description

----------------

Beginning as early as age eight in girls—and two years later, on average, in boys—the hypothalamus (part of the brain) signals hormonal change that stimulates the pituitary. In turn, the pituitary releases its own hormones called gonadotrophins that stimulate the gonads and adrenals. From these glands come a flood of s*x hormones—androgens and testosterone in the male, estrogens and progestins in the female—that regulate the growth and function of the s*x organs. It is interesting to note that the gonadotrophins are the same for males and females, but the s*x hormones they induce are different.

In the United States, the first sign of puberty occurs on average at age 11 in girls, with menstruation and fertility following about two years later. Boys lag behind by about two years. Puberty may not begin until age 16 in boys and continue in a desultory fashion on past age 20. In contrast to puberty, adolescence is more of a social/cultural term referring to the interval between childhood and adulthood.

  

Answer 5

I'm guessing you mean 'puberty'...

Definition from The Oxford Minidictionary (agh the words in this one are tiny): puberty n. stage in life at which a person's reproductive organs become able to function.

Definition from Yahoo! Dictionary: The stage of adolescence in which an individual becomes physiologically capable of sexual reproduction.

I'd give you a summary but then I don't exactly understand all those words in the definitions and I can't exactly explain it myself...

When you get puberty, it's when first sexual reproduction becomes possible...in other words have a baby.

Oh and boys get it too you know... And, like Roseheart, I suggest you don't bother your sister when she's having "problems"...just leave her alone.
