Did you know there is a second growth spurt?

I believe everyone has more or less understanding of human development, but I don’t know if you know about the second development of girls. Maybe most people think that people only develop once, but this is not the case. So I will introduce some relevant knowledge to you below, hoping it will be helpful to you.

There are two important characteristics of girls' puberty: First, from about 9 and a half years old, girls' height growth suddenly accelerates, reaching a peak of 6 to 8 cm per year, and then gradually slows down until the epiphysis closes and no longer grows. By around 18 years old, the height can increase by about 25 cm. Secondly, the body's subcutaneous fat deposits increase, especially in the hips and buttocks. At the same time, the pelvis and hips also widen, forming a feminine body shape with soft curves. This series of changes in physical shape marks the gradual growth of a girl into a young woman.

The onset of puberty varies depending on genetic factors, health level, nutritional status, climate of the region, altitude, socioeconomic conditions, hygiene habits, etc. Generally speaking, girls enter puberty 1 to 2 years earlier than boys. In recent years, the age of menarche for girls in many countries has tended to be earlier, which is related to economic development and the improvement of living standards year by year. Girls who are severely thin or obese, malnourished or who exercise excessively often have delayed menarche; conversely, girls who are moderately obese often have an earlier age of menarche. Psychological characteristics: Psychologically, girls begin to develop a vague consciousness after the age of 10, and begin to become interested in gender differences and gender relations. Their appreciation and admiration for the opposite sex also begin to grow. The so-called "first love" is used to describe this period.

So when you are in adolescence, you should know that many aspects of yourself have slowly changed. You don’t need to pay special attention to anything, but there is one thing you must do, which is that you should learn to control your emotions. This will be very helpful for your growth.
