Adolescence is a socially defined
phase of life. Puberty is a biological event that
marks the beginning of adolescence, the beginning of
the physical maturation of the reproductive
system. While everything that is happening to you
will be exciting, it is important to take care of
your health. Being in good health means you have a
well body, mind and spirit. One part doesn’t exist
without the other. Your happy energetic spirit
keeps you positive about your body. Your positive
self-image makes you love your body, and do your
best to protect it. You have to realize that your
body is all you have in your defense against
everyday life. On top of that, you have to keep
your mind well, so that your body can be kept
healthy. Think happy thoughts! We are all unique
and great in our own ways. Remember that life
happens because we aren’t all alike. If everyone
thought the same, and looked the same, and behaved
the same, there would never be anything new and
exciting. Enjoy your life!
The Charlotte County Health
Department wants to encourage you to take charge of
your health—Mind, Body and Spirit.

During adolescence, your body goes through many changes.
You are becoming a man. The start of this time in your
life is called puberty. During
PUBERTY, you will notice changes such as new body
hair, a growth spurt, and noticeable changes in your
voice!!! Learning about the exciting changes going on
with your body will help you get through them, even if
you are feeling unsure of yourself. The first step is to
get to know your
BODY. Realize that we are all different and unique.
Getting to know your body, and learning to love the man
you are becoming, will do wonders for your
EMOTIONAL HEALTH.
