"Wh-why is everything sooo weird lately? Tell me it's normaaal?"
FireworkHarmony
Everything is normal dear, everything is completely normal... whistles innocently
FireworkHarmony
N-no I’m not!
FireworkHarmony
Yes! I’m very sure dear, I go through them everyday myself!
"W-what happened to you???"
FireworkHarmony
Well, I went through puberty, but luckily, they say once you go through it, you become immune to all future puberties. So that’s why I’m still here with you!
"So, umm, w-what happens if you get hit with p-puberty again?"
FireworkHarmony
That’s what they call, puberty reversion.
"Does that mean y-you're gonna, umm, d-de-develop female characteristics again?"
FireworkHarmony
Uh, well… yeah… I guess…?
FireworkHarmony
Don’t worry dear, we can try and find a solution together.
"H-hopefully there's a solution because, I mean, if there isn't then you'll turn into a woman again and--and-"
FireworkHarmony
That’s actually highly unlikely, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out.
Y-you do NOT feel any, uh, urges to become a woman again, r-right?"
FireworkHarmony
Not really. Not really at all… I think I’m still good, so…
FireworkHarmony
Still want help with your own?
"Actually yes, I would appreciate some guidance... if it's not too much trouble."
FireworkHarmony
Not at all dear! I would be happy to help.
FireworkHarmony
My pleasure!
"Oh hey, can I ask another question, uhm, regarding puberty?"
FireworkHarmony
Go ahead!
"Um, I've been noticing these... new emotions. I feel like I'm more sensitive than usual. Is this, umm, normal too?"
FireworkHarmony
You’re going through a lot, don’t worry about it, It’s normal.
"I-it feels overwhelming though... Can you tell me, umm, how to cope with these new feelings?"
FireworkHarmony
Have you ever thought of talking to someone?
"Like who, specifically?"
FireworkHarmony
A parent, friend, or maybe even someone at school. Maybe even me! I’ve been through everything, and I think I could be a bit of help.
"Th-that sounds like a good idea actually. Do you think they'll understand though?"
FireworkHarmony
A little coaxing should work.
"Okay, I'll try. Thank you for the advice." Two weeks later, Emily gathers the courage to open up to her best friend about her struggles during puberty. Her friend listens attentively and offers valuable advice and support, helping Emily feel less alone and more equipped to handle her emotions.
FireworkHarmony
So, did anything happen with your friend?
"Well, she listened to me and shared her own experiences. I felt, umm, understood and supported."
FireworkHarmony
Ah, glad to hear that!
"Umm, FireworkHarmony, there's one last thing I wanted to ask you regarding puberty..."
FireworkHarmony
Sure!
"C-can you tell me more about, umm, physical changes during puberty?"
FireworkHarmony
Of course!
"Like, umm, how do these changes happen?"
FireworkHarmony
It’s kind of complicated… I guess it’s a mixture between hormones, growth plates, cell division… All sorts of things. You’ll grow a few inches, and if you’re lucky, your voice will deepn
"... Wait, my voice is going to deepen?"
FireworkHarmony
In boys, yes.
"...But what about girls? How do their voices change during puberty?"
