I know it's normal to get unwanted erections during puberty (my first growth spurt was in 6th grade, which Iv'e had the most obvious erections since). It seems like I am the only one that gets "embarrassing erections". Everybody notices me when I get them. No other boy gets as much embarrassing erections like me (except one). Is there more testosterone in me? I think about it? I become nervous? I get too excited? Also, what do I do when people make fun and laugh at me, because of my erections?

Just look them dead in the face and ask them do they want to see it. The absurdity of the question being asked in the middle of school will shut them up temporarily. Have yourself a good laugh at their expression and turn away.

If you're in seventh grade, almost all of your male friends are getting unwanted erections. It sounds like you started puberty a little earlier than most, so you may have more testosterone than your friends, but they'll be catching up real soon. The big difference between you and your buddies is that they are simply hiding their erections better.
One possibility is that people are not noticing that you have an erection, but they notice that you adjust yourself when you get one. It's the act of shifting yourself around that draws attention. If so, either wear looser boxers, so that it shifts around to vertical without needing help. If that doesn't work, wear briefs, but keep your penis pointed up all the time. They may need to be a little tight to hold you that way. Then when you get hard, the position won't change, just the size. You can wear boxers over your briefs if tighty whiteys aren't cool. If you choose "low rise" briefs they will never show over the boxers. If that doesn't work, try a longer, baggier shirt.
And if people still notice, just shrug and smile.

You already know that erections are perfectly normal so I don't need to explain that but there are a couple things I can point out (at the risk of a pun or two).
First, do not think about your penis when you are naked. And never let yourself think about the fact that others are looking (even though we know they are).
Second, if an erection springs up, then treat is as natural; be yourself and just stay cool, calm and collected while divertign yoru thoughts to a math problem instead of your penis.
and if anyone laughs or teases, go along with them and laugh or make a joke about your erection too. After all, it is just a nice healthy penis showing off for the guys so why freak out get upset. Far better to let all of them know you are comfortable with yoru penis and don;t care if they see it limp or hard (by your actions though not by saying it).
finally, if one fo the guys who likes to tease you when you are hard pops up in the lovcker room, feel free to tease him about having teased you - hehe..

Dude, Hide them better....
I used to cover them up and supress them with a Book or somthing when the teacher called me to the front of the class.
And what to do if they are noticed......Just smile and be proud of it. Maybe say something smart, like atleast you know it works......or what, you've never seen an erection before? or If you think your's is bigger, prove it....or what are you laughing at, looks like you have on too!!
Anyway, this stage goes away with time...

Jerk off before you show your penis to the world.
If you get hard again, be cool and explain to them you have more testosterone than they do, and if they're going to make fun it's because they're probably jealous they're not as Man as you. Challenge them, see if they can get a woody on the spot like you can. If they can't, well, it's something they should worry about, not you.

It's just something that kids do. If the attention is on you, then it's off of them. Don't worry about it; just try not to draw attention to it. Wear tighter underwear for awhile until the problem goes away.

Because that's what kids do-tease. Especially the insecure ones

Only wear briefs rather than boxers (to keep it from sticking straight out at everyone) and wear looser pants.
