HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | EVERYTHING ELSE

Why is my voice changing? I thought that only happened to guys!

 
I'm 15 years old, and I definitely have hit puberty. When I talk, sometimes my voice gets high, like a young boy going through puberty. I don’t know why this happens. My brother makes fun of me, and it’s embarrassing when I'm talking to my friends. Why does my voice do this?

 

It’s typical for guys and girls to experience changes in their voice as they grow up. Boys, however, experience a much greater change than girls. Most chicas’ voices become just a smidge deeper, while boys’ can skip octaves!

 

What’s happening to your bod? All of this change is caused by your larynx. Before you hit puberty, it’s pretty small. But as hormones like testosterone start pulsing through your body, is begins to grow, making your vocal chords longer and thicker than they used to be. Since boys’ bodies produce more testosterone, they experience a greater change. As you get used to your maturing body, your voice might squeak or croak at really awkward times. There’s not a whole lot you can do about it right now, but rest easy, babe—this phase will be over soon!

MOD!
My mom scheduled conferences with the teachers of my basic classes (they're optional) for this Friday. One's with my Chemistry teacher, and I don't think my mom knows I'm not doing so hot in that class... I have a 69%. I try and do what I can in that class but our last chapter test just totally killed me, and I'm sure my teacher's going to tell her. My mom hopefully will be understanding about it, but I'm worried that she might tell my dad, who sees no excuse that I shouldn't get straight A's. I don't know how to deal with either parent if they get angry about it...?!




Hey babe, 

The best way to deal with this is to just fess up. Tell your mom that you didn't do so well on your last test and that you're doing everything you can to keep up. Your parents should understand if you're making a genuine effort to learn chemistry. If your parents get angry, come back here and I'll give you advice about how to approach it! xoxo

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
