Answer 1

Five Stages of Puberty - Guys

1 Normal Age Range: 9-12, Average: about 10
Male hormones are becoming active, but there are hardly, if any, outside signs of development. Testicles are maturing, and some boys start a period of rapid growth late in this stage.

2 Normal Age Range: 9-15, Average: 12-13
Testicles and scrotum begin to enlarge, but penis size doesn't increase much. Very little, if any, pubic hair at the base of the penis. Increase in height and change in body shape.

3 Normal Age Range: 11-16, Average: 13-14
Penis starts to grow in length, but not much in width. Testicles and scrotum still growing. Pubic hair starts to get darker and coarser and is spreading towards the legs. Height growth continues and body/face shape look more adult. Voice begins to deepen (and crack). Some hair around the anus grows.

4 Normal Age Range: 11-17, Average: 14-15
Penis width increases, as well as length. Testicles and scrotum still growing. Pubic hair begins to take adult texture, although covers a smaller area. Most boys have first ejaculations. Underarm hair develops. Facial hair increases on chin and upper lip. Voice gets deeper and skin gets more oily.

5 Normal Age Range: 14-18, Average: around 16
Nearing full adult height and physique. Pubic hair and genitals have adult appearance. Facial hair grows more completely and shaving may begin now or soon.

During the late teens and early twenties, some men grow a bit more and develop more body hair, especially chest hair.

Answer 2

I was about average, maybe a little younger. I started growing and hitting puberty when I was about 10 or 11, but I didn't get my period until a few months after I turned 12. BQ: Bad personality and immaturity. Almost all of the guys at my school (except for a handful) just p*ss me off and are immature and selfish. Oh, and using drugs and alcohol and looking for sex in every relationship. I'm a bit picky, lol. Facial hair used to bother me, but not anymore. My boyfriend has a little and it actually looks nice on him and he takes care of it. He looks a bit younger when he doesn't have facial hair :P

Answer 3

You don't have control over your voice and height, but you certainly can change the way you act. Don't watch kids TV programs, read the newspaper, be nice to people- practice mature, gown-up behavior and you will seem A LOT older than the other 17 year olds.

Answer 4

Well guys don't stop growing till they're around 21 anyways, so you still have some time. Plus with the voice thing I heard that guys' voices may not fully develop till they're 30, & yes pretty much all guys act like kids =]

Answer 5

It's probably worth seeing your doctor. You might just be running a little late, but there could also be some problems that they might be able to fix.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Men don't stop growing until they are thirty. Women stop at an earlier age. Enjoy your youth, because when your older, you'll wish you were young again.
