Answer 1

OK i am 13 my dick hasent grown i don't have pubes and my dick hasent grown is this normal and when will i go throug puberty

Puberty is very variable. Boys can start it at different ages and they don't all go through the various stages in the same order. Here at the visible signs of puberty, which might happen in any order... growth of hair on your scrotum and in the region of your penis (also around your anus), growth of hair on your ankles and in your armpits. Growth of facial hair. Your penis will get longer and thicker, your scrotum will get darker in colour and hang lower to accomodate the increasing size of your testes. You will sweat more and your sweat will begin to smell. You may get spots and blackheads. You will grow taller and your muscles will develop. You will find yourself think about sex a lot and you will get erections. You may find yourself mentally comparing the size of your own penis with the penises of other boys in the showers at school, this doesn't necessarily mean that you are gay, just that you are curious which is perfectly normal. You may also feel the urge to masturbate and when you do at some point you will eventually produce sperm. Oh and your voice will "break" and lower in pitch as your larynx (voice box or Adam's apple) enlarges and you'll also suffer from abrupt mood swings (your family will suffer because of them too). There is no definitive end point to puberty. By 21 or so years of age (if not sooner) you probably have reached your maximum height and your penis will probably have reached its maximum length but muscle mass and body hair may continue to extend after this age and may continue into the mid thirties or perhaps even later. The mind of a boy will also change and he will develop adult attitutes and ways of thinking. As part of this process teenagers often become rebellious. Initially rebellion may be limited to disagreements with their own parents but soon they begin to question other parts of society, religon, laws and virtually everything else. This is good, it is the way things are meant to be. As a young child you accept unquestioningly the decisions of your parents. As you reach puberty you begin to question everything, it is part of the process of growing independent, of become an adult yourself who is capable of making his own decisions. Moods are greatly influenced by hormone levels and at puberty the body is awash with hormones, which can lead to very intense feelings and hugely variable mood swings. One moment you're on top of the world and the next minute you hate yourself and want to die. These feelings are typical and eventually, as the process of puberty tails off, the mood swings will lessen. You'll develop your own personality and ideas, which will be different from those of your parents but not necessarily bought lock stock and barrel from your favourite band or movie.

So you are 16 and haven't gone through puberty? It seems that you are going through puberty, but you don't seem to notice you are. Ask your parents about it. If you aren't feeling any huge changes physically, you are probably deveolping slowly. If you are going through puberty, you might be growing taller slightly faster. If you are concerned and want more answers, go to your family General Practice.

Answer 5

Dont worry about it! This is an issue with a lot of teen girls and they simply feel this because the people around them are all going through it.

Your body will develop at the time its ready - just sit back, relax and let your body do the work! theres no such thing as not going through puberty everyone does so you know it will happen sometime!!

There will be millions of teenage girls all over the world who stand in a changing room in front of a load of high school girls who do nothing but judge - its a bad feeling and i know because i am now 26 but when i was 15 i had only just started my periods and was completely flatchested, now i have a gorgeous, caring boyfriend who loves me for who i am.

Forget what all the other girls say - your body does exactly whats right for you and nothing else!
