When kids hit puberty, their bodies and minds go through tons of changes. One change that every kid can count on is lots of body parts growing and changing shape. Almost every part gets in on the growing action, including the larynx (say: lar-inks).
Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and it's in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice, whether you're talking, laughing, whispering, singing, or screaming! You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations under your fingers, you've found it!
When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what's called an Adam's apple. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. That's why boys have Adam's apples. Most girls don't have Adam's apples, but some do. It's no big deal either way.

What Is An Adams Apple

Everybody have an Adams apple. It's called a hyoid. It moves when you swallow and talk. Since men have lower voices, their sticks out, and we sing at a higher pitch, it seems to go away. Women have higher voices so theirs is harder to see. I'm not a doctor, but I know what the adams apple is called. again it the "Hyoid" If you get punched in the throat you will feel it.

The adam's apple is the glottis. Both men and women have it, but the males is more prominent. To check a girls adam's apple, kiss her on the neck until she gulps.

I have a really messed up voice. My AA had actually gotten smaller, it's still pretty big , but got smaller. I'm 13 , and can definetly state for fact, that puberty and all this works for girls as well. (My older sister ,21, actually has a very small AA) . Girls have AAs as well, thay're just smaller.

Its the bump in your neck below your chin. Raise your head a bit and you will see yours very clearly.
Boys are more pronounced, Mine is very smooth comparitively, and some guys have very pronounced ones.
