In my opinion,like everything else in life,time swimming should be decided on the individuals ability,not the age of the child.I have a twelve year old boy,who currently swims up to fifteen hours a week happily and thrives on it,however there are fourteen year old boys in his Swimming Club that can only cope with five hours a week.Any child in any sport regardless of age should be encouraged to do whatever they feel comfortable with.
Puberty does not begin at the same time for everyone. Girls on average begin puberty a year before boys.
Yes, but they still may not be as much into boys as boys are into them.
It's puberty my friend. ;) Go to some puberty sites for boys you can just type in boys puberty using Google. And if it's to much hair consult a doctor.
Every girl goes through puberty and starts to notice boys when you were 5 you didn't notice boys as much as you do now. It's normal to start noticing boys. Unless you're a lesbian.
The start of puberty in boys generally occurs between 10 and 14. The first thing a boy usually notices is that he produces (emits) semen, either in his sleep or when masturbating. Things like the start of facial hair and the voice breaking (becoming much deeper) follow later.
Very much the same as heterosexual boys do, except that sometime around puberty they begin to develop same-sex sexual attraction that society prefers to call "curiosity" in the case of heterosexual boys.
yes, all girls go through puberty. most girls enter puberty around the ages of 9-13 but some girls may start earlier or later. but just because they enter puberty doesn't mean they get their period yet. usually girls get their periods 1 to 2 years after they enter puberty. but some girls are different.They go through it just as much as boys do. It just works differently for girls then boys.
Some boy's do most of their growing at age 15, however depending on the individual, you can grow pretty much during anytime during puberty. Boys start puberty anywhere from 10 to about 15 and end at about age 17 to about 18, pretty much anytime in that period growth is normal.
Once Puberty has begun boys will get sexual thoughts quite often. Other than that they will have pretty much the same thoughts as anyone else.
No, not everyone. Puberty differs so much from one person to another, even at the same age. Some will enter puberty before 6th grade whilst most will enter somewhere after. Girls tend to enter puberty before boys !
Honestly, not much can. It's all up to the pituitary gland in your brain, and stimulating that isn't easy.
The last answer stated that yes swimming would stunt your growth but however that is totally wrong. If you swim to much you might hurt yourself but you wont stunt your growth. Look at Michael phelps he swims 6 hours a day and you expect me to believe it stunted his growth. The avg height for the previous 8 finalists for the U.S olympic swim was 6 FT 5 IN (wikipedia). Swimming makes your spine longer. Now excessive weightlifting is detrimental to height for the fact that you can fracture your growth plate. back to swimming, swimming is a low impact sport so you will not stunt growth but you might drown.
