The document summarizes the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty for both males and females. It describes how the pituitary gland stimulates the development of sexual characteristics like growth of body hair, breasts, and genitals between the ages of 11-16. For males this includes growth of the penis and testicles and production of semen and erections. For females it includes menstruation, breast development, and widening of the hips. It notes these changes are a normal part of sexual maturation.
