A guy also goes through emotional changes during puberty. Hormones are affecting physical changes and emotions. Happy one minute. Sad the next. Can you relate? A temper flare. Desire to be left alone. A lot of boys experience mood swings like this during adolescence. It's o.k. to show emotions. Try not to be too hard on yourself or on the people around you.
Puberty also brings "romantic" feelings with it. Butterflies in the stomach when a certain someone walks by in the hall. Hanging out with your favorite friend can be a fun part of growing up. It also hurts if your feelings aren't returned. And it hurts bad. That's o.k. Talk about it with someone you trust. Be yourself and you'll be fine.
When you're going through puberty, some days are an emotional roller coaster. All of these changes - physical and emotional - are a normal part of growing up.
