We can get pimples on the face, back, chest, or buttocks. We get them as our skin starts growing thicker and the glands under it start making more oil. Our pores get clogged and infected. Even the oil from dirty hair can infect our pores. That's another good reason to wash and shampoo more often, and keep our hair off our faces.
Hormones make our bodies grow up.
Our bodies make chemicals called hormones that guide the changes in our bodies. Often we grow and change so fast that we feel clumsy. Also, we may have uncomfortable growing pains, usually in our arms and legs. Girls can see lots of the changes that estrogen causes. Their breasts begin to get fuller.
