Every vagina has its own unique scent which all women have. Most of us can't smell it but some women to and it can be troublesome.

If im a 5ft1 male at 15 how tall could i be?
i am 15. im 6'4. i drink about 2 litres of milk everyday. i think its the reason i am tall.
Yeah ive always been the tallest in my class (until i joined classes with younger people) and i drunk loads of milk when i was kid. I think theres a specific stage at which drinking the milk is more beneficial though. Lying down a lot makes you grow tall aswell. To be honest though being tall isn't fun, theres a lot of people out there who would be happy if i died simply on the basis that i am tall. To be honest it gives no real advantage apart from captivating female interest on a very basic level. There's a lot of prejudice against taller people and although shorter people get called names people tend to be nicer to them. To be honest height really doesnt matter, that's stupid, you'll (mentally) grow out of it.
What hormone makes a boy develop a deep voice when he reaches puberty?
Boys develop a deep voice as part of the process of puberty, it is generally a change that occurs around half way through the process. The main hormone responsible for this change is testosterone, which stimulates the enlargement of the larynx (also called the Adam's Apple or voice box).
Androgen's such as Testosterone not only give a boy a deeper voice but sets him up for sexual reproduction too.
Testosterone is the male hormone that begins to spread around the body during puberty in a boy. Besides a deep voice it brings pubic hair and growth to the penis, testicles, arms, legs, feet, hands. You name it !
When your going through puberty and your voice changes is your throat supposed to hurt?
If it does, then you're doing it wrong. Probably you are forcing notes that you can't naturally reach, or you are forcing volume.
Voice training can allow you to sing more loudly and hit higher notes without damaging your throat.
What would make an otherwise normal woman start to sweat a lot under her arms?
Underarm odor in women, and men, is mainly caused by the bacteria that live and multiply in the sweat that tends to get trapped in underarm and genital regions. These bacteria often emit sulphur-containing gases as part of their respiration process. Another lesser cause of body odor can sometimes be certain foods that you eat, garlic is a common culprit, but these odors are not limited to pubic regions, they come from all over your body, but are usually stronger in pubic regions because of the combination of hair and sweat there. Then there is your own natural scent which you may or may not find appealing, which also is a bodywide odor, and will be stronger in your sweaty and hairy regions.
How do you get rid of hornyness?

Overall? If it doesnt go away, It can be a medical issue with the body.
What age you start being a big kid?
I would say around 12-13 because then you are a teen!
In my opinion, you stop being a kid when you slowly feel more mature. At around 16, you find that your hobbies are different, you play different sports, and you stopped liking some jokes. Like your a different more mature person who isn't as active and won't fall into trouble as often. I am 13 so I still have a while to go!

see the fourth paragraph ....
Usually your testes and scrotum grow first, so that they start to hang lower and get bigger while your penis is still the same as it always was. Then gradually your penis will start to catch up and get longer and thicker. Most boys start puberty on average at 12 or 13 years of age and by 14 your penis should be noticably bigger than it was when you were a child. But remember that all boys are not the same and some boys start puberty earlier or later than others. They don't all go through the various different changes in the same order either. If you mean bigger in general, like height, then that is just as variable. Some boys shoot up right at the begining of puberty while others have a growth surge towards the end of puberty, in their late teens.
How can you make yourself taller if you are short in stature?
There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options. # Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You'll be surprised that how much of "Height" is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. l # Second, you can create a "Taller effect" by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of "illusionary height" by improving your dress coordination.
This is because the egg is only physically barred from getting through. The uterine lining still thickens and builds up during the cycle as no-one told it there was no point! Your hormones still function in the same way, producing and releasing the egg, and building the womb's lining. The period still has the function of cleaning out this thickened lining each month.

Do all guys going through puberty experience gay thoughts?
Not all, but many do. Even those who are not gay and especially during puberty. It is normal to experience thoughts of excitement especially towards an act that has "shock factor." Human's are programed to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Any kind of sexual behavior will produce a pleasure response. An additional excitement will result from an act that is unusual or forbidden, so gay thoughts may be especially likely to provoke excitement for men or women. Many men who identify as straight would never admit that they have had gay thoughts, but it is impossible to deny the automatic response to any sexual trigger.

Is it okay for a parent to whip there children with a belt?
Answer: Absolutely not! You want your kids to be afraid of you? You have chosen the easy way out instead of talking to them. Bad parenting that is, and also using tools to hit them with is bordering on, if not already is, child abuse. You will get respect and have a better relationship with your child if you don't scare them into obeying you but rather take away something they like. The reward system works. The only thing hitting the kids lead to is them doing the same to their kids. It has never lead to happy kids obeying their parents, just kids being scared of them and "respecting" them out of fear. That's what gangs do, by the way; create respect out of fear. Legally it depends on where you live and morally it's up to each parent. It's still the fear of being spanked that makes the child do what you want them to do, so fear is still there. As a parent I know there are better ways then getting physical and scare my child into submission. Depending on where you live it can be very much illegal as well as spanking that is considered child abuse as well in many countries.
Answer: Hitting a child with a belt is an extreme way of discipline and can be seen by many as child abuse; however, spanking is not the same as abuse or merely scaring a child into submission which is why many find that a more suitable way of discipline. And whether there will be a better relationship truly depends on the individuals involved. You have less chance if you abuse your child, and rightfully so, but other means of discipline such as spanking or grounding have a greater chance of them learning and being grateful for life lessons and being happy children respecting their parents.
Why do boys fight in front of girls?
Boys fight a lot because in the cave man ages fighting was nessacary in order to show physical strength the was required to protect loved ones from danger, hunt and gather food and to generally survive. As the human mind hasn't particually changed, all that's happend over time is we have gatherd more and more intelligence, from building on whhat one person did, the only thing thats changed is society. In the society we live in today ( i live in the uk ) unless you live somewhere incredably under developed ( i.e Africa) then fighting is no longer nessacary, however man kind still feel the need to fight as its a basic instinct for survival thats deeply rooted.
Why is the age of 16 so important to a girl?
I think it's just because it's an age in between youth heading towards adulthood. You're still in the high school age focusing on friends and grades but at the same time beginning to look ahead at the bigger picture like college, relationships, and the future. It's the transition from trick or treating with your parents to going out driving with your friends. In my opinion, it's called "sweet sixteen" because it begins the age of freedom and independence that so many teenagers look forward to.
it is a birthday party given to them as a gift
