The boys voice breaks because as he grows through puberty the voice box, or larynx, holding the vocal cords begins to stretch and get longer. An Adams Apple (boney lump in throat) may appear also.

The below answer is far from correct. The pitch of your voice is indeed dependant on the length of your vocal cords but nothing to do with height, you can get a 5' male with a voice as low as a baritone-bass or you can have a 6'8 male with a voice of a tenor, it's pretty much just the length of thickness of your vocal cords, if they're long and thick, you'll have a low voice, if they're small and thin then your voice will be high, long and thin, I'm presuming a thinner low voice? same for the other way around.

But what happens when your voice breaks? Well I actually can't remember my voice breaking, it just gradually got lower and lower until it was very deep, I had started to sing and my voice then gradually became higher, I am a tenor with a range from F2 to D5 (modal) and A5 (falsetto). So, really, your question was not answered that well, but you gained information that the depth of your voice will depend on the thickness of your vocal cords.

The vocal chords stretch as your grow. The longer it is the deeper your voice. That is why at about age 13-14 sometimes boys can talk high then low in the same sentences because it is in between.

Usually if they are 13-15 their voice will start to change so it changes by breaking up the voice, otherwise it could be a cold

When boys grows, they reach puberty. Puberty includes voice changes as the larynx grows and the vocal cords get longer and thicker.

Boys voices change during puberty because their voice boxes and vocal cords get longer, which makes them sound deeper. As the body is getting used to the new size, it breaks.
