If a boy starts to get underarm hair when he is eleven does it mean he will stop growing early?
No it doesn't, because it is normal for boys to start getting hair under his arms and in the pubic region at 11. This hair is normally straight, fine and non-pigmented hair and it signals the start of early puberty. When a boy goes through "precocious" puberty, that is, starts puberty earlier than 9 years of age, they run the risk of not growing as tall as their peers This is because when puberty completes, the growth plates on the bones close and stop growing in length. Precocious puberty is a treatable medical condition, and boys showing signs of puberty at a very young age should be seen by a pediatric endocrinologist to address the possible complications.
