B
Our bodies grow and change in many different ways.
As teenagers grow older, their bodies will reach their full adult height. This is the biggest change. But how tall can teenagers grow? Do you know that height is one of the many features (特征) decided by your genes (基因)? Your genes give you a height that usually matches your parents' heights. This means if both parents are tall, their child will probably be tall too. However, genes don't decide everything. For example, an unhealthy diet can stop your body from growing well. Getting enough sleep and regular (规律的) exercise will help you reach your natural height. That's why eating healthy food and staying active every day are so important for growth.
How fast do people grow? Babies grow very quickly in their first year, becoming about 25 cm taller and 6 kg heavier. *Puberty* is an important stage when many big changes happen. Most girls start puberty around age ten, and boys around age eleven. During this time, teenagers grow fast, get hair on some parts of their bodies, and their voices change too.
Don't worry if you grow a lot in a short time or feel different from others of your age. If you have questions, talk to your parents or teachers — they're always there to help.
