| Your growth spurt |
| |
| During puberty, the rise
in the hormone estrogen in your body causes the
pituitary gland to make more growth hormone. This
causes you to grow at a much faster pace than
you had been growing. This growth process happens
later for boys, which is why you may find yourself
taller than the boys in your class for a while.
Rarely, there is too little or no growth hormone
being made. If this happens, girls and boys may
not have their growth spurt. Again, this is uncommon.
Consult a doctor incase of uncommon symptoms |
