We usually observe these changes in puberty stage where the growth of the opposite sex starts to
mature. For girls, the changes start to develop after their first menstruation at the mean age of
10.5 years or above. While for boys, it usually begins after circumcision between 11.5 to 12
years.

Yes, for female secondary sexual characteristics, I started to notice changes in my chest right after
I got my first menstruation when I was 11 years old. I also noticed pubic hairs on some areas.
However, my voice started to get deeper as I grew up instead of having a high pitch like the usual
female experiences.
3. If you were not able to experience the above listed changes, what might have caused such
differences?

insecure about my body. I may start to question myself regarding why I am not experiencing the
same changes with the same sex.
4. How does the society shape the sexual behavior of an individual?
Society shapes the sexual behavior of an individual in a way that prohibits them from doing the
things that do not coordinate with their gender and eventually starts to manifest the attitudes we
learn through experiences. From the householdthat teaches us the culture and how we should act
when we are young, to peer groups formed based on compatibility, to Media that affects the
behavior of the individual, and to the teachers that help us to enhance our knowledge.
