The Influence of Puberty on Female Behavior

When a female goes through puberty many changes occur in the body. In addition to affecting a female's appearance, these changes can also lead to some of the following behaviors.

• Sleeping a lot
  
• Feeling moody
  
• Masturbation
  
• Some women experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) around the time of their periods. PMS can include headaches, back pain, irritability or moodiness, feeling sad or emotional, bloating, and breast tenderness. Some women don't have any of these symptoms, while others have all of them and perhaps a few more. (Cutting back on salty foods and caffeine may help reduce the symptoms.)
