When+it+takes+place2

**When does puberty take place? **  =It normally depends on your genes. In girls, it happens around 8-13 years old. In boys, it occurs from 10 and a 1/2 to 15 although it really depends on your genes (it's never the same as anyone else's). However, it may happen earlier or later in anyone. You don't finish the stage of puberty until you're about 16. Everyone is different, so everyone starts and goes through puberty at their own schedule. This does explain why some of your friends might look like kids while the others look more like adults (in other cases, whether they're immature or responsible). =
