Adolescence is one of the most charming and convoluted period in life span which brings childhood to adulthood. It is a period of biological, cognitive, and social transition of high magnitude and rapidity and is also associated with the onset or exacerbation of several health-related problems. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in three different schools in Jhapa districts, Nepal in which 146 adolescents were included through a random sampling method. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data regarding attitudes toward Pubertal Changes which was analyzed and interpreted using SPSS version 16. The study along with the sociodemographic profile also enumerated the results of 37% strongly agreeing that pubertal changes are normal and more than half agreed that sex education is essential. Half of the participants agreed adolescents suffer from anxiety during this period and 59.6% agreed that adolescents should not be ashamed of the changes. The study revealed that 60.3% of the respondents had a favorable attitude and 39.7% had a moderately favorable attitude toward pubertal changes. Although a majority of the students had a good attitude, it can be further improved by conducting classes, and programs about menstruation, and pubertal changes, and encouraging the involvement of students in it. Parents, as well as students, can also be educated about pubertal changes through teachings and awareness programs in communities to increase positive attitudes.
