Answer 9

puberty is up to your body. what it does is on its own on its own time. So it happens individually to that persons own rhythm. A girl can be 8 years old and start her menstrual cycle , her friend who is the same age might get hers at age 16. Every one is different and has their own clock.

@matuba21 I'm not trying to criticize you or make it sound ridiculous. Science starts with observation. You can observe people growing up around you every day. Some girls still look very much like girls, others almost appear as young women. Some boys have a deep voice already, others still speak with a high pitched voice. And they all sit in the same class and grade. This is a subject and question you can deduce almost from pure daily life observation, and not just learn it by heart.
