The male hormone testosterone is manufactured in the Testes. At puberty a boy's Testes begin to make testosterone as well as sperm. Castration is the name given to the removal of the Testes. It therefore follows that if a boy is castrated and his Testes are removed he will never be able to produce sperm or Testosterone and so will never actually experience puberty.
In cases where an early puberty would limit growth, growth hormone can be administered as it will accelerate growth and to some extent suppress GnRH release in the hypothalamus.

Do castration and vasectomy have the same effects on the endocrine and reproductive functions?
Castration, removal or destruction of the testes, has a drastic effect of endocrine functions, as the testes are major sites of hormone production. As a vasectomy leaves the testes in tact, there is no effect on the endocrine system. Both methods prevent reproduction.
What will happen if castration occur after puberty?
Your sexual drive gets turned down, but that doesn't mean you can't have sex anymore. It depends on when you got castrated. If it happens before the age of 13 you probably never can have sex in your life, if it happens after puberty and had some sexual experiences before you still have a drive and will be interested in women. You don't get an erection every time you try to ascend a woman when you are castrated, but sometimes it works. In ancient times there were eunuchs who even had sex with the women of a harem. The most unpleasant after effect of castration, besides the impotence, might be the bladder weakness you can get.
