Get GL's new book and get answers to YOUR body questions!

 
Ah, the dreaded P word—puberty. One morning you wake up and BAM! your bod isn’t quite the same as before. You feel more like a distorted, fun-house-mirror version of yourself. Why does growing up have to be so awkward?

Good news—it doesn’t have to be. When you know what’s going on with your bod, you can prepare for the changes and know why they are happening. Suddenly, the whole thing doesn’t seem so dreadful.

So where do you turn to for answers to your body questions? Things like…

“What’s PMS exactly?” 
“Is it okay to pop my zits?”
“Why are my boobs smaller when my mom’s and sister’s are bigger?”

The experts (that’s us!) who bring you your fave magazine (duh, Girls’ Life!) have created a book that tackles these and ton more questions— from body basics to how to feel amazing everyday.
 
 
Introducing (drum roll, please) GL’s Head-To-Toe Guide to YOU, the only book you’ll ever need to get those baffling—and sometimes blush-worthy—body questions answered.

No more wondering “Is THAT normal?” The Head-To-Toe Guide to YOU gives you the scoop on everything you need to know about your changing bod including your period, the ABC’s (and D’s) of your breasts, the real deal with what’s up “down there” plus solid secrets to battling breakouts.

Snag it! GL's Head-To-Toe Guide to YOU is in bookstores NOW or you can order by clicking HERE (buy it today and you could save 30%!).

What's happening to me?
I have body hair but haven't starting developing breasts yet.
And what happens if you're chubby? Do you develop later?
Thanks, =]




Hey girl! Both are signs of puberty, but that doesn't mean they have to happen at the same time.  Usually they happen at different times for different people...it just depends on YOUR individual body.  You'll develop breasts with time, don't worry. A good way to tell how large your chest will be is looking at other females in your immediate family.  If most women in your family are small chested, then it's likely you will be too.  (not 100% guaranteed, but definitely a good way to estimate)  Being chubby doesn't determine how fast you develop, in fact girls with less body fat, or girls who are undernourished, have a harder time getting their periods and being fertile....making them less likely to develop and experience signs of puberty.

Hey girl! Everyone's period is different.  Check out the section, "Periods, Period" on the GL website to see if your question can be answered there.  Here is the link, check it out: http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx

**********MOD**********

Ive like this one guy, lets call him Jay, for a super long time. and one day while we were at this fair, he told me and my friend, Rachelle, that he liked both of us. and he told me that he wasnt ready for a girlfriend. which i was fine with. i didnt know if i was really ready for a boyfriedn. so then i talked to Rachelle and she said that she didnt like Jay and that she wouldnt like Jay since theyve been best friends for a long time and it would be weird if they went out. but then on friday me, rachelle, jay, and a few other people went to a friends house. we started to play truth or dare. and one of my friends who knows that i really like jay dared me to make out with him. i got so mad at her because it didnt feel right because it was my first kiss and because i didnt think that he would want to kiss me since i kind of gave up on the fact that he liked me. but i still kissed him. and then on saturday he asked me out. and of course i said yes. but then i started to feel weird. because the fair was only like three weeks ago and i wasnt sure if he really wanted a girlfriend. i asked all of my friends if they were sure that he really wanted me to be his girlfriend and they said he wouldnt have asked you out if he didnt. but im still wondering if i should break up with him since i dont know if he really wanted to go out with me, or if i should talk to him about it. im just so confused right now.

thank you!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD i wanna get this book but im not old enough to get there by myself and im not going to my mom and say get i get this book its a bout my body shell look at me like why do you want that whut do i do?

 

Hey girl, I know it can feel awkward to talk to your mom about that stuff, but I'm sure she wouldn't react negatively!  She was once young, too.  Maybe you could show her this page, and ask her if you could get the book.  Tell her you think it's important to be educated so you can be healthy.
