Your penis is small but when you have an erection its huge is that normal?
yeah, its normal. it just means that your penis stretches a lot when you have an erection
Yes, you can. Some people never go through puberty. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as not producing hormones, or a genetic disorder.
It would be extremely rare for a child never to have hit Puberty. There are reasons for Delayed Puberty which rarely causes puberty not to start, or to start and stop but these can all be overcome with hormonal treatment. Testosterone and Estrogen in small doses will bring puberty along even when in their twenties.

Is it normal for a 12 year old to get turned on by the same gender?
Usually people would postulate that if you get turned on at all by people of the same gender, then you're gay.
However, during Puberty, things are different. Things which aren't sexual can perhaps turn you on, and you can get erections for no genuine reason. Unless you're genuinely sure that you are actually turned on by the same gender, then there's nothing to worry about*. Even then, they could turn you on and you could choose not to act on it.
* I'm saying not to worry about it, but I'm not saying that being gay is something to worry about. Being gay, bisexual or straight is 'normal'.
The short answer, no.

A guy goes through puberty just like girls. Guys develop deeper voices, and pubic hair and some other things.
There really is no "set" timeline. Those are good signs that it won't be long, but you could have those signs for over a year before you get your period. I know I started to get those in 7th grade, and I didn't have my first period until the summer going into 8th. Every person's body is different and when it is ready, it will happen. Just be patient, and don't wish for it too hard. Once its here, ITS HERE FOR A LONG TIME!

Guys are attracted to the legs more than likely because it is the part of the body that attaches to the butt. They are curvey and usually smooth.
