How long does puberty last

All individuals have a maximum potential height. Some things can be done to ensure a person reaches their full potential height, but a person cannot grow beyond this by using supplements or eating certain foods.

Eating a healthful diet and getting enough sleep and exercise is essential.

There are many ways to stay active, from joining a sports team to helping with household chores.

Teenagers need 8 to 9 hours sleep a night.

A healthful sleep pattern means going to bed at around the same time each night and not staying up too late.

During puberty, boys may be shorter or taller than other boys their age. This can be hard to deal with. Understanding the changes their body is going through and being able to find information about puberty can help.

Boys should be reassured that growing takes time and that everyone is different.

Developing good self-esteem through positive family relationships, friendships, hobbies, and interests can all help boys to cope with puberty.
