Girls 

  • During puberty your ovaries get bigger and your body will start to produce two hormones - oestrogen and progesterone. 
  • Oestrogen causes your breast to grow and helps your vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes to develop. 
  • It also makes you grow taller and also changes the way fat is stored on your body making your waist, hips and buttocks more obvious. 
  • After puberty, oestrogen and progesterone control your menstrual cycle or period. 

Boys

  • For young men, the hormone testosterone is the hormone that starts development from boy to man. 
  • Testosterone is the major male sex hormone and it is produced in the testes.
  • Testosterone levels rise significantly during puberty. 
  • When levels are high enough, testosterone starts the production of sperm, causes the chest and shoulders to broaden and causes facial hair to grow.
