My body

My bpdy

Girl lying on bed and smilingYour body goes through lots of changes as you grow up. Some changes you can see and some that only you will know about. It can be a difficult time getting used to everything and you might feel lots of different emotions about your body.  It's important to remember that it's completely normal to feel this way.

Sometimes you might have questions about your body that you are too embarrassed to ask your teacher, parents or friends about. If you are worried or confused about anything it will help to talk about it.  If you can't talk to someone you know, you can call ChildLine on 0800 1111 or contact us online and we will be able to help you.
