What is
Adolescence?
Adolescence is a time that starts around when
you're 11 and goes all the way until you're 18 or 19
years old. 
You might hear people call you a teenager during
this time because you're in your "teens" - from 13 to
19 years old. 
If you're a girl, you might notice these changes a bit
earlier than boys.
