A female from birth is different from a male because of the different sex hormones.
A girl usually matures physically and mentally faster than a boy
At the age of puberty (11years for girls) the girl is usually taller than her male counterpart.
She will have her menarche (the beginning of her menses).
Emotionally and physically she will be more mature than her male counterpart.
However she will have problems with her menses (the monthly flow of blood which results from the shedding of the lining of the womb every month) such as irregular flow of blood, excessive shedding of blood and pain before, during and after the menstruation.
At the same time the breast tissues start to form. She can become very conscious of this formation and feels tingling sensation on contact with her clothes. She may have to wear a bra.
Emotions may be heightened and she may feel very sensitive to minor irritants and have mood swings.
Thus is due to the sexual hormones being produced in her.
However with counseling from her mother and friends she will quickly adapted herself to the new way of life.
Unlike a boy the girl will have to go through this phase to become a woman.
Soon she will become a woman confident and capable of taking care of a family.
She will give birth to children and become a mother just like the women in the family before her.
As time passes she will slowly grow older and at the age of forty five years onwards, her menses will stop and she will enter the stage of menopause when the female hormones began to drop.
As she aged she will have to look after her health particularly her bones health and her body in general and take good care of herself because this is the time when chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol strikes.
She will need to live a healthy lifestyle with adequate nutrition, a balanced diet and sufficient mental and physical exercise
