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.

There is a medical conditon called "Precocious Puberty" which means unusually early puberty. Girls who begin puberty younger than 8 years of age and boys who begin puberty at ages younger than 9 are considered to be undergoing precocious puberty. Medical records are kept confidential for patients privacy and many incidents are probably never reported to doctors and theer would be no records at all. It would therefore be difficult to even guess at the "youngest ever boy to go through puberty" But as the condition has a specific name, is well recognised and any age under 9 for a boy is considered precocious. Then over the thousands of years of human existence and in all the countries of the world the youngest boy would be...anyones guess, but definitely under 9.
