How can you make puberty come faster?

As much as you would like to quicken the process of puberty, it is impossible to do anything to make it go quicker. Everyone develops at their own pace, but puberty usually ends at the age of 17-18 for girls, and 18-19 for boys.

well i have experienced what your going through and, if you research it, your seman is full of zinc which is also stored in your pituitary gland, and every time you may possibly masturbate, you release that, so it is never released naturally so, it wont fasten your puberty up but it will be much faster than doing nothing, so you can take like a vitamin table with zinc in for a week or so (read everything on the container incase of allergies), widthout masturbating and if you do this in the midst of some signs of puberty, then you will see the difference.

Can you produce sperm at 12?

Yes, it is totally normal. At 12, you haven't fully developed yet, so when you masturbate the liquid produced is clear and holds little sperm. As you get older, you'll find that your semen becomes thicker in texture and a milky-white shade of colour.

If you have pubic hair does it mean you have reached puberty?

At the beginning of puberty an erect penis could be anything between 3 and 5 inches (7 - 13 cm). But remember everyone is different.

How can you tell if you have hit puberty?

When you get the uncomfortable feeling that everyone around you has changed.

You won't know when you've hit puberty until you're actually experiencing the changes, and these changes also depend on if you're a boy or girl. As we get older, there are many changes that happen to us. The age at which we experience puberty is different for everyone, so you shouldn't worry about whether or not "you're on track" until at least 16-years-old. For most children puberty happens without a hitch. It is natural and happens to everyone.

You won't know when you are about to hit puberty, you will only know when it's already started. This is when you notice pubic hair growing around your genitalia. This process usually starts in the ages of 11-15 but differs from person to person. Girls tend to hit puberty before boys of the same age.

You will start to get taller with growth spurts, your hair will grow in other places such as underarms, legs, facial hair. you will get more interested in sex, and you will most likely get pimples and acne. You may get moody or grumpy too.

sperm is normally white with a yellowish tinge.

Alternatively it could be taht you have only just started to be able to ejaculate, and this could mean its clear in color. that is also normal.

What happens during guy 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 are the visible signs of puberty, which might happen in any order...

Growth of pubic 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 thinking 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. 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.

For a guy, there isn't just one event or sign that you're growing up. There are lots of them, including your body growing bigger, your voice changing, and hair sprouting everywhere. Most boys begin puberty between the ages of 9 and 14. But keep in mind that puberty starts when a boy's body is ready, and everyone grows at his own pace. Physical Changes During Puberty for Boys

What comes first puberty or your periods?

When a young woman reaches the stage in life when she has a period, she able to become pregnant and have children. A period occurs when the ovaries release an egg from her body. There are many eggs, and one (sometimes more than one) will be released about 14 days after her period each month until around her mid to late 40's or early 50's. A female is born with all the eggs she will ever have; her eggs do not reproduce. Once a month, if this egg that is released is not fertilized by a males sperm, her uterus (or the womb that houses a developing baby) will shed it's lining and prepare itself for the release of next months egg. The reason you experience "blood" during your period is because the uterus must shed that lining to keep things ready incase you become pregnant. It will take about 3-7 days (maybe more, maybe less; it is different for every woman) to fully shed it's lining. During this time you will need to wear a feminine pad or a tampon to absorb the blood that is lost during menstruation.
