There are actually a bunch of different hormones that cause the changes during puberty, but the dominant one in males is testosterone, while the dominant one in females is estrogen.
The pituitary gland in the brain makes other glands produce excess hormones. This causes increase in testosterone which drives puberty in males. (oestrogen in females)
The latest people begin puberty at would be 17-18. You could be experiencing delayed puberty, and if so, you would probably be given testosterone shots. The most important thing is talking to your doctor, because only they can determine what problems your having, and the cause of the problem. Delayed puberty can be caused by several different factors. Testosterone is the hormone that begins puberty off in a boy so by taking the shots it will induce puberty if you are a late starter with delayed puberty.
I am presuming this question is from a male, so shall answer as such. During puberty, testosterone is produced in a great amount and greatly affects the body in many ways. Testosterone greatly affects muscles, which is my men are scientifically proven to be capable of building muscle mass faster than women, who produce little testosterone, but instead, estrogen.
Many girls start shaving legs because the hair start becoming more noticeable. This is caused due to estrogen and testosterone.
Yes, you can. Some people never go through puberty. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as not producing hormones, or a genetic disorder. It would be extremely rare for a child never to have hit Puberty. There are reasons for Delayed Puberty which rarely causes puberty not to start, or to start and stop but these can all be overcome with hormonal treatment. Testosterone and Estrogen in small doses will bring puberty along even when in their twenties.

male sex hormones known as testosterone are responsible for the formation of sexual secondary characteristics in male
During puberty the male voices deepens, because the larynx (voice box) grows larger and thicker, causing the vibrations caused by speaking to become lower. And it is perfectly normal.I am 13 years old and my voice is starting to get lower.
The answer is simple. Puberty causes sexual development. And puberty is caused by hormones. Those are your testosterone and estrogen hormones. Males and females all have testosterone and estrogen. Some more than others and some less than others. That all depends on your development while in your mother's womb. Estrogen causes females to develop breasts, and make your voice higher, and their monthly periods. Testosterone causes hair to develop in males and females. It also causes males to make their voices deeper, and help make their genitals grow. And testerone and estrogen are caused by a gland in your brain called the pituitary gland. When you hit a certain age, that's when your pituitary gland becomes active and releases these hormones to cause arousal and development. The pituitary gland also has ALOT to do with arousal along with testosterone.
