[female speaker] 
It's a very difficult moment to grow up in
It's a very difficult moment to 
bring children up in
In other words, that extraordinary process
by which you take an infant at birth
with all of his tremendous potentialities,
not born homosexual, not born a prostitute,
not born a narcotics addict, or an alcoholic--
society makes them this way.
This process is being impinged on--
this process of nurturing a child.
To help him grow up to be the adult
that he was meant to be.
[male speaker]
This is a normal function of the body.
These are normal feelings.
The breasts--
[child speaker]
Do boys and girls grow at the same rate?
[music]
[male speaker] 
These physical changes make the boy
feel more manly, and the girl more womanly.
Both feel independent.
They begin to be interested in the members
of the other sex,
in social activities, and in being together.
These are normal feelings.
[music]
When a boy is between the ages of
13 and 16,
the testes begin to produce sperm cells.
These sperm cells are carried through
the tubes
in a thick colorless liquid called semen.

Good morning, 
this is Planned Parenthood Association.
[music]
Have you ever been to any of our
Planned Parenthood centers before?
Okay, we have a clinic on Wednesday 
afternoon at 12:30.
[male speaker]
This is one of 383 Planned Parenthood
clinics in the United States.
[music]
[child speaker]
What are the main growth changes
that occur during childhood and adolescence?
[music]
[female speaker]
The committee did very well.
The film we'll see this morning will give 
the answers to these questions.
It will also show the earliest phases of growth,
as well as the changes that take place
during child birth and adolescence.
It will help you to understand the way
the cycle of human growth is repeated,
over and over, 
from generation to generation.
And now we're ready for the film.
[child speaker]
Lights.
[film reel clatter]
[male speaker]
Growth is controlled by tiny organs
called glands within our bodies.
[music]
[priest]
I now pronounce you man and wife.
