Who to Talk To About Puberty: Trusted Adults & Professionals
It is important to remember that everyone experiences puberty differently. Some people feel comfortable talking to their parents, guardians, or other trusted adults, while others may prefer to talk to a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider. Here are some people that you can tell that you're going through puberty:
- Parents or guardians: They can provide support and guidance, as well as answer any questions that you have.
- Teachers or school counselors: They can offer support and resources, and if necessary, can speak with your parents or guardians on your behalf.
- A trusted adult: Such as an aunt, uncle, older sibling, or family friend, can also be a good person to talk to.
- A doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider: If you have any questions or concerns about your physical or emotional health, it is important to speak to a healthcare professional. They can provide you with information and resources, and can also rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
