Every kid has to go through puberty. It's all part of growing up. You hear all about it and, on the outside, the changes seem predictable enough. Your body is changing from a child's to an adult's. You might have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

But what about the inside-the changes going on in your head? What to expect there? And how do the two parts, inside and out, work together? From fitting in and gaining self-confidence to adjusting to new feelings, new relationships, and human sexuality, it's your changing emotions that make growing up such a unique and possibly challenging time. Growing Up, Inside and Out helps you see every stage of your adolescence for what it is and will be: a time of great mystery and great excitement.and of sometimes feeling overwhelmed by it all (which is perfectly okay!). Although each of you will grow up a little bit differently, you'll be surprised to learn you have a lot more in common with each other than you might think. Physical changes may be different between boys and girls, but emotionally there are so many similarities. Growing up. Confusing? Sure, but there's never a dull moment. Let the most amazing chapter in your life begin here.
