Puberty Checklist Worksheet

Puberty happens at different times and in different ways. Work through the fictional situations and checklist; you do not need to share personal experiences. You may leave a personal reflection blank and talk privately with a trusted adult if anything worries you.

Puberty changes: a quick checklist

More sweating or body odour
Skin becoming oilier or developing acne
Everyone starting puberty on the same birthday
