Im 13 and dont know if im hitting puberty?

Question

Ok so my dad was a late, 15 he said. But around 3 months ago i started getting pubic hairs around ... but no armpit hairs. Now i have a ton of pubic hairs but no armpit hairs. I dont know if im "really" starting the process. So anyways do you think i will be late like my dad or are these early signs.

Answer 1

dude your prob gonna be late like ur dad ur dads genes are being carried on to u thats why :)

Answer 2

If you have pubic hairs you are just starting puberty. :)

I don't why the person two above me was talking about woman's puberty...this IS men's health, after all.

Answer 3

lol .. there are three MAJOR "parts" to women's puberty. They are Mensturation, Breast development, and pubic hair

Answer 4

The hair growth is a start, yes. It should take about a year before you can ejaculate, and everything else will fall into place in it's own time. As a late bloomer, you will most likely also progress slowly as well. I was into college and still looking like a kid, so I can relate.

Answer 5

13 is not extremely late but it is not early either. Yes this does mean you are "starting," puberty but remember that puberty is not an overnight event. It is a process that takes years and a different number of years for everyone I don't think I actually finished puberty until I was twenty-one. Also there is a trend in many males for the body hair to start at the bottom (no pun intended) and work its way up so don't worry about armpit hair it will come eventually. Trust me shaving is really fun for the first couple months and then you come to hate having to do it.  

Answer 6

It depends on the types of breeds. what breed are you? lol jk

Answer 7

My best guess is that you started already. I was blond and a teen (bald now lol) and my pubic hair started way before my arm pit hair. I would also suggest starting washing your face with a good cleanser to help out with the inevitable and pimples that are bound to start. My sons tried to keep ahead of them and had pretty good luck. One of there friends wasn't as lucky!
