A regulatory substance in your body that happens in your body at around the age when puberty starts. For girls: 7-13. For guys: 9-15...however, "guy hormones" are called testosterones. Hormones sometimes make you feel sad at small, pointless things..or happy at random times. They can also cause you to understand love more. For example, before puberty you never thought of guys as hot, cute, etc. But when puberty kicks in and the hormones start...you begin to find the opposite sex more attractive...or the same sex, if you're bisexual, gay, or lesbian. Sometimes you feel nervous around the opposite sex in middle school through highschool (grades 6 and up). But don't worry...nothing's wrong with you, it's just your hormones making you feel this way. Hormones are a sign that you're growing up...so don't worry, be glad :) (I tried to make the description of hormones as mature as possible...sorry if I failed) Urban Dictionary
