Just like any other part of the body, everyone is different. Some guys get more armpit hair than others, just like some have curly hair and others straight. It is due to genetics, but has no implication on puberty or anything else.
It is not unusual for hair on one side of the body to tend to grow at a different rate from the other.
stop shaving the other one then
Puberty is a very confusing time in a persons life, i garuntee you though that more hair will come in time. puberty usually starts when your body is around 100 pounds, or when you are 11 for a boy and 7 or 8 for girls. you shouldn't be jealous because other people have armpit hair, because trust me, it starts to stink and you have to buy deoderant and everything just becomes a mess.
Armpit hair starts to grow during puberty and is a natural development. The amount of armpit hair varies from person to person and males tend to have more armpit hair than females. There are a couple of theories for why we have armpit hair. One is that it helps to reduce friction between the underarm and the body. Another theory is that it helps to keep the underrm area dry and prevents the colonization of odour producing bacteria.
They find it sexy and know that armpit hair is there for a reason. This hair traps the sweat from our armpits and holds it there. It is said to be more hygienic to shave this hair off because of body odour and that's why it is in our culture today to do it. ~ Every culture is different. French women are more natural and wholesome (generalizing here, I know.) Women in the US "grow armpit hair" too.. they just shave it off. Why? Social conditioning. Apparently deodorant has substances that lead to breast cancer. So yeah, so much for "being better." Personally, I shave/use deodorant. But I'm looking into more natural alternatives, somehow, for both. lol
There may be several reasons for this. Thicker hair on one armpit can be one of the causes. One armpit can have an over active sweat gland as compared to the other. Also people who use one hand in excess can have a more sweaty armpit.
One more year and you'll start seeing it...
I'm 14 and i have a lot of armpit hair and it started growing around 6th grade but it all depends on your body so some people may have more or less than you.
Well, if your a girl, you get your period, and your breasts and butt most likely will get bigger and your voice MIGHT change a little bit, you'll get pubic hair and armpit hair. If your a boy, your voice will mature a lot more and you wont have that "baby" voice anymore, you will also get pubic hair, and more facial hair, and your armpit hair will grow too.
Armpit hair's primary purpose is to more easily remove sweat from the body, helping to prevent odor causing bacteria to grow. In addition, armpit hair also prevents friction between the arm and side of the body. Finally, armpit hair, helps release pheromones which are believe it or not a sexual stimulant in mammals.

Girls can choose to shave their armpits whenever they feel comfortable doing so. Some start shaving when they feel self-conscious about hair growth, while others may wait until they are older. There is no specific age or timeframe for when a girl should start shaving her armpitsβit's a personal choice.

Well to answer your question, "Is a 13 yr old boy meant to have armpit hair", my answer to you is yes! Right now I'm 15 and I have Armpit hair, Pubic hair, and Leg hair, A LOT of leg hair. I started getting Armpit hair when I was 12 so it's normal, you just are developing faster. Well I am 15 1/2, and i have barley any armpit hair, but i have pubric hair, and leg hair only on my lower limbs. I dont know why but this is how its always been, and it kinda sucks, because people who look like they are in the 6th grade have more armpit hair then me? Anybody telll me why please
Generally, any shampoo makes your hair more fragile. Shampoo removes dirt and unwanted things from the hair, but it also strips it of the natural (and other) oils and substances (emollients) that keep it from becoming so dry - so brittle. Dry hair, that is, hair without natural oils, is prone to being more brittle. That's the whole idea behind why we have conditioners and other enhancements the we put into hair after we wash it.
