Abstract

Puberty is an important transition period in a teenager's life, marked by physical, hormonal and psychological changes, including secondary sexual development. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge of young women regarding secondary sexual development during puberty. This research method uses a quantitative descriptive design with a total sampling technique of 30 female students at SMP Negeri 1 Biskang. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using a Likert scale. The results showed that the majority of respondents (63.4%) had high knowledge about puberty, but only 43.4% had high knowledge about reproductive organs. The highest knowledge was found in the 14–15 year age group and respondents who were raised by their parents. The most dominant sources of information come from parents and schools. The conclusion from this research is that there is still a need for ongoing education regarding secondary sexual development, especially from parents and educational institutions.
