Ok, just gonna jump into this right now, you may think this is strange coming from a 14 year old boy but I don't see the fascination with jerking off, I've never done it, partly because it doesn't seem right and also because half the ''kewl'' kids in my year go on about it like it's some sort of Rite of Passage.StarStruckStrumpets said:
Oh, about the puberty thing, eh not really suprised about anything. My voice hasn't cracked yet so I'm still slightly hesitant about using a headset (I don't play CoD or Battlefield before you start) and as for the hair thing, nothing major except getting into the habit of shaving (I'm not fatally scarred yet from the razor so it's looking good so far)
It's not like a train that you can jump out the way of, it's puberty, you don't react, hormones do
I was later to start than some of my friends so at least I knew was I was in for.
I didn't grow much... age 22 and still a short ass 5'9. I blame my short ass father who I am lucky to have outgrown by a good 4 inches.
But I got acne badly, mainly on my back and forehead. Reacted by growing my hair to hide it which in hindsight did not help... but it got so bad that a doctor prescribed one of the heavy duty acne meds, the ones that keep popping up in the papers having caused teen suicides through the side effects...
Yeah going through puberty sucked.
EDIT: The beard rocks though. I shaved lots just to ensure it would grow faster in the future. Teenage self, thank you.
It was hilarious to watch my younger brother though, when he was younger he had a really beautiful singing voice but had a Homer Simpson style puberty shift and suddenly the music department wanted nothing to do with him.

Well that's one strategy I guess. I would probably have said something I'd regret afterwards like: "Mom! Do you know what matricide means?"aprilmarie said:
I fapped till I got a GF and then proceeding to fuck her everyday for 3/4 weeks every month.
I grew over a foot, went from 5'2"(end of 7th) to 6'3" before the end of 8th grade, and I cut my long hair because it started to get a wave in it like my mother's hair. Oh and I started shaving the first time I saw a hair on my face, helped with getting a GF.

Well, there wasn't any obvious stressing out or anything, but a lot of the changes were really unwelcome as far as I was concerned.
And 10 years later I still couldn't stand the sound of my own voice.
But considering the situation I'm in, puberty was mostly just an unwelcome intrusion in my life.
It doesn't help that I was just generally a lot happier with my body before it started than after.
About the only good thing about it was that I grew so tall that I somehow intimidated everyone around me enough to prevent anyone bullying me after about the age of 14 or so.

Weirdly, I started puberty super early and then just stopped, it was weird. I was made fun of like crazy for being super hairy in sixth grade (basically no one else had hair then) so I kind of didn't wear shorts again until this summer. So, that's like eight years without shorts all thanks to puberty (and sensitivity)!
Let me tell you, ala journalistic entries:
12: alright! Middle school! this should be fu- AAGGGHHH!! what is this feeling and why is my penis getting hard?!
13: the fuck?! There is hair around my genitals! what is this mutation?! Why am I so ugly?!
14: SHIT. what is this fluid oozing out of my genitals?! why am I so angry?! why does my body hate me?! WHY DOES LIFE SUUUCK?! D:
15: Huh, I'm getting used to this now. shouldn't be that hard to get through high school no- GODDAMNIT BONER, NOT NOW!
16: 5 words, Why am I so horny?
17: wait, I just turned 17, never mind!
Yeeeaaahh, puberty sucks.
EDIT: also, my voice went from wimpy retard nerd to hilarious large ham over the course of 2 years. it was interesting.

I had pretty much the same reaction as the OP. I knew it was gonna happen, it happened, didn't particularly care all that much. Oh yeah, the random boners were annoying though. Thought I might add that.
We havn't had many first period stories yet xD
Hence, my contribution:
I got my first period on the last day of Year 7, which was sports day, so i couldn't ask the matron for sanitary towels because she wasn't in her office. So i sat in the toilets for a day and then ran home just before the day ended.
FUN.
Other than that, i never got any breasts to speak of and if anything, i got nicer after puberty...
What a first post ;D

I think it was along the lines of:
"What is this?"
"The hell did these grow?"
They just appeared...

I started puberty very early so I was freaking out a lot. Which I think is rightly expected from a sixth grade girl who's the first one to start showing changes in their body. A lot of the other girls hated that fact and I was picked on a lot for it.
The process was physically painful from what I remember. Breasts growing, growing pains in the middle of the night, acne, and itching are what I remember as the most annoying. Mentally it was a clusterfuck. I was already in a enough crap as it was.

*is playing DDR*
"Hey... What is that strange, wet sensation?"
*puts in a tampon, goes back to DDR*
The Next Day:
"Hey Mom, I started. I didn't really freak out over it, so I kinda forgot to let you know when it happened."
Puberty itself wasn't really a big deal, but I seem to be hypersensitive to normal fluctuations of my lady hormones, so PMS is really terrible for me.
I mean, "migraines, physically sick, hot-flashes" kind of bad.
The general consensus on this is pretty much, "I have no idea what's causing your symptoms, but since you can't tolerate the medicine, you just give us the word and we'll do minor neurosurgery on that tumor that may not have any affect on you if you feel like it."
-.-

"hey, where'd my vagina go?"
didn;t notice much tbh just my body hair increase and a massive temper all the time

All I remember is noticing extra hair, lost a bit of weight, got very slightly taller, still kinda short. Surprisingly little mood changes, but I was always a bit of a grump, so that might explain that.
Funniest thing I remember was not wanting to use voice chat programs for fear of being "that squeaky kid" so when I finally heard my voice echoing over another headset I was like "Who's that- oh it's me."
