puberty is when human bodies develop in a sexual way.
Hair begins to grow in armpits, in pubic areas and on boys....on faces. Many have hormonal issues that cause pimples.
For girls breasts begin to grow, menstrual cycle starts, hips widen.
Boys voices change and their penis and testicles grow.

Puberty refers to the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction. Growth accelerates in the first half of puberty and reaches completion by the end. Body differences between boys and girls before puberty are almost entirely restricted to the genitalia, major differences of size, shape, composition, and function develop in many body structures and systems. The most obvious of these are referred to as secondary sex characteristics. In a strict sense, the term puberty (and this article) refer to the bodily changes of sexual maturation rather than the psychosocial and cultural aspects of adolescent development.
Adolescence is the period of psychological and social transition between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence largely overlaps the period of puberty but its boundaries are less precisely defined and it refers as much to the psychosocial and cultural characteristics of development during the teen years as to the physical changes of puberty.

Are you really that young to ask that question? Does your Mommy or Daddy know you are on here? Honestly, parents have no control over their kids these days.

Best to have a discussion with your parents about this. In school they start teaching about it in 4th grade.
