This is a bit hard to answer, as people have different ideas.
Some might say that it begins before puberty, when external anatomical changes start, and thinking pattern change from dolls to boys. Other might state that the start is synonymous with puberty. There would be more agreement that adolescence lasts longer than puberty well into the upper teen,, when thought patterns start to become more adult-like. Thus for some adolescence may continue into the 20's. Behaviorally, some are willing to say that for those few, they never outgrow adolescence. In general prevalence, puberty, is more of a anatomical-physiological process, while adolescence is more of a psychological-social yardstick. It just so happens that much of puberty and adolescence overlap and interact chronologically, that the two terms are often used synonymously.
