Poll: When did you hit puberty?

[Colour Scientist]

I picked 12-13 but on further reflection I think I got my first period when I was 11. So, 11.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I think about aa week after ny 14th birthday it all happened in a few days. Like, really quick. Slightly weird experience.

Around 12 - 13 I ended up with my current voice, being dubbed the white Barry White.

In my class I was one of only two students who'se ground-trembling voices could be heard in the classroom across the hallway.

I think i was 16 or 17 when the big changes set in and went from tiny small guy to extremly thin but huge framed guy. Didn't so much "hit" but more or less was informed by and went trough puberty without many bumps.

Some point between 11:23am and 11:47am on the 23rd of July in the year 1990. Sorry I couldn't be a little more exact with the time.

Seems like most people here are earlier than average. So, is it really average now?

 

[Amphoteric]

I don't want sexual health on my escapist

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

5th or 6th grade maybe.

That's when I started growing a mustache and had strange attractions towards my female classmates.

14-15 isn't nearly the average starting time. Not showing any signs by then would actually warrant a visit to a doctor, or even before that. 11 for boys and 10 for girls would be more accurate. OP needs better sex ed. Puberty starts way before you notice substantial amounts of hair or start smelling like an adult. Fatties also hit puberty earlier on average.

I think the smell thing is one of the weirder ones. My elementary school actually gave out deodorant to boys and pads for girls as sort of a "welcome to puberty" thing when we were around 11.

Also, is it just me or did the OP implicitly admit to being 12?

9, believe it or not.

 

[Dogstile]

I actually have no idea. I was just. Fuck, lets pretend I invented the manly low voice and hair look, I didn't have to go through puberty :L

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I started a little before 12. I starting doing the growth spurts and other physical changes around 10-11, and then my voice started getting deeper around 12, until it stopped getting deeper when I was around 14-15, but it was a very slow deepening of my voice.

It's kind of funny to hearmyself on recordings and such, because I still hear the voice I had before puberty when I talk, it's just an undertone of my deeper voice now. No one else can hear it though. Maybe I'mjust crazy, who knows. XD

 

[BENZOOKA]

When I was ten or eleven. And that's a quite normal age.

The poll is lying.

 

[eggy32]

Either 12 or 13. I don't remember when the pubic hair started but I do remember my voice becoming considerably deeper when I was 13.

 

[Sneeze]

Got my first noticeable sign (read: pube) at 13 as I recall it, so I can only assume then. I might have started around a normal age but by god was it a slow process, had very little hair anywhere else until maybe 17... Still don't think I'm completely finished in the hair growing at 21. :/

Usually the naughty bits get noticeably bigger before pubic hair shows up. I mean, it's not something you'd notice or remember because it seems gradual at the time, but it's objectively noticeable.

 

[Dark Knifer]

My voice was broken when I was 13 so, I was fairly early.

Yeah I probably worked that wrong, I don't remember much of it really it was so gradual, I swear I just woke up one day to find I had hair and my pants were more snug...

Yeah. It's sort of like relative growth in school. There are the people who noticeably "shoot up" in high school, those who "lag behind" and those who don't seem to grow in proportion to you. The shortest kid in my elementary school seemed to do that. In high school I would've sworn he hadn't grown since elementary school. Then I realized that he was probably about 5'2" (which is still really short) or so by junior year, which would've made him one of the tallest kids in fifth grade.

Darned subjectivity. Ditto for smell. You don't really notice that your body odor is changing until one day you sweat a lot or stop doing laundry.

I was extremely early.

Was about 7 years old when I hit puberty. xD
