Puberty Question? It's Below.

Question

I told my dad today (It's Night) that I have a personal question for him tomorrow privately. It's about the man to man talk about puberty. I need to ask him lots of questions. I need a man to answer not a website. So how can I be prepared? I told him I need to talk tomorrow morning and I'm afraid about that if I mention puberty I don't know why but I think somehow he's gonna get mad. I am 12. How Can I get prepared? I'm so scared and I need the talk. We were given a health video at school but I need a real man. So how can I get prepared? What questions? Please Help! 10 Points!

Answer 1

well i would write him a letter asking the question im 13 i mite be able to answer just post the question tommrow and ill answer it at 12

Answer 2

Well I don't know much help we can be if you seek a person-to-person chat, instead of an online one.

But you shouldn't be afraid, as long as you have a good relationship with your father. Good luck, and have confidence.

Answer 3

why are you worried about it. it is something ever dad should talk freely to his son. ask him the questions that you want to know and dont hold back i wish i asked the questions when i was your age. just relaxe i know it is easier than to do but try it. if that dont work go do something you and your dad like to do and it makes you more comfertable to talk to him. if you want to you can e mail me and i will give you some topics to ask you dad about. this is the time to get all the info you need and it will seem like a lot but take it in.  

Answer 4

why would ur dad get mad, that's not something to get mad about, everyone has to go through it, just ask the questions that are on ur mind, be cool dude

Answer 5

this is you're dad you can tell him anything! just open up and tell him what you need to say! you're dad is the one person that you will ever open up to the most! for the record i'm eleven so i know how you feel! You're dad is waiting for you to talk to him about it he went through this too! everyone goes this stage! DONT BE SCARED TO TALK TO YOU'RE DAD!

(If you have another family member that you would feel more comfortable talking to do that instead)

=-]

Answer 6

Trust me, he won't get mad at you. He went through the same thing when he was a teenager. just be direct with him and ask him whatever you want to know. I realize that it's a sensitive topic to discuss, but he will understand.

Answer 7

just be like dad i am not quite sure about the changes i am about to go through....can you explain it to me?.

he will not get mad...you are his son, if anything he has been waiting for you to ask him about it.

don't worry he was once at your age in his life.

just do it.

Answer 8

Hey dont worry he wont get mad. but he will be suprised.

Just take it slow and everything should be fine.

Ask him what you are comfortable talking about.

Ask him about s*x?

Whats going on in your body?

Whats going to change my life in the next years?

Answer 9

Ok not that me and my dad dont get along, we just never had that talk. I had get the courage to go to my friends and older cousins cuz im an only child. alright since you asked, ill give you a list of questions, you should print them, ask em and right down the answers. i know that sounds weird but then you wont forget. and dont worry, your only twelve, you have a long way to go but it will happen, i promise!!!

1)How old were you when you started puberty (the average guy doesnt start until 13 or 14 but its like hereditary so ask him, its important)

2) What should i look like? (this one would be hard to explain but coming from it will matter, he'll understand)

3) What type of changes should i expect? (he should know and if not I'm sure he'll find out for you)

4) What type of change did you have at my age? (like i said, it'll be about the same)

5) How long did it take you to get through puberty? (its a really hard process but you'll get through it with his help)

6) How should i be in comparison so my friends and what not? (this ones important because every person is different and he'll explain to make you understand)

7) When should i be ready for s*x? (I know this sounds really weird, it is. Lots of parents dont want their kids having s*x but they do anyway. Just listen to what he has to say, it'll mean somethin. you should have s*x when YOU are ready, thats what matters. just wait till mid puberty cuz it will be the biggest embarassment of your life if you've only got 3 inches......)

8) How big should i get? (this one will be really embarassing to ask but it will help in the long run so you know what to expect. trust you'll freak out trying to ask this one, but i promise it'll help if you do.)

9)Should i look at p**n? (some dads are ok with it, some arent. just dont do it with him, thats disgusting. even if he says you shouldn't, you can peek every once in a while.)

10) When should i jack off(m********e)? (this one is REALLY weird but yet again, it WILL help! You probably wont be ready till youve grown some and what not but youll know when)

sorry this is so long but I'm only 16, trust me, i know how you feel cuz it wasn't so long ago that i was in your shoes homes! Just do it and dont be scared, thats part of becoming a man. if you have any questions, email me and even if you dont pick me as best, let me know how it works out. if i think of anything else, ill let you know

Answer 10

Don't be scared and don't worry about being "prepared".  Your dad will not be angry, though he may be as nervous as you.  However, I'm sure your dad is relieved that you've come to him with your questions instead of a website or friends or what ever.  Don't worry about any of this, you've already done the hardest part - getting up the courage to ask your dad.  Your dad will take care of the rest.

Answer 11

First relax i know you are nervous but youre dad has been through all of this before and if he loves you he will be proud that you came to him and not to youre friends or a website .. Be totally honest and just say whats on youre mind tell him what you are thinking tell him how you are feeling about all of this ..

Here are a few examples of questions you might ask

1. Does it hurt ?

2. What can i expect to happen to me ?

3. What should i do when i have an errection

4. Will my chest and nipples grow bigger ?

5. I have heard that you grow more hair especially down there  tell me about that please?

6. Will i feel weird while all of this is happening?

7. How tall will i grow ?

8. Will my hands and feet get bigger ? Did your's Dad ?

9. I understand that i will need to shower more and be sure to wear deoderant is this right?

Honestly any thing you need to ask you should ask .. Don't be ashamed just ask...

Best to you ..

Answer 13

First of all you need to stop worrying so much.  Of course your dad is not gonna get mad, unless he is a total as*hole.  If not you should first come up with some questions you wanna ask. Then when you are ready to ask them, dont think so much as just do.  Youll be fine.
