Our bodies are a confusing thing no matter if you’re boy or girl shaped! Find out what’s going on during puberty.

OMG is there anything more embarrassing than puberty? Seriously?! All these changes happening to your body. Smells, spots, growth spurts, voice breaking, periods, body hair PUBES there’s just so much happening and it’s kinda overwhelming!

Soooooo on the subject of pubes, Jimmy from the 4:01 Show has a very important question. Do they ever stop growing?? To answer this vital question he’s going somewhere with the highest concentration of puberty in the country: secondary school! That’s right, Jimmy’s going back to school to ask about pubes and, er, some other important questions too, we guess… He sits down with a science teacher to pick his brains about puberty then – you know what? – actually leaves kind of excited about the process! That’s because, when you get to the end of all those changes to your body and all the emotions, what you’re left with is an adult body. It’ll be stronger and bigger and adult and grown up and stuff – which is actually pretty cool because your body as you know it now is basically just gonna grow up and get better. Which sounds great!

So if you’re waking up and thinking: “I hate my appearance. Why am I insecure about my body?” then that’s totally normal. There are good things happening however, so trust in Jimmy. We certainly do. Oh! And pubes don’t stop growing FYI – there’s a constantly replenishing supply down there. They won’t take over – but you won’t run out either. Promise!
