Question 1

how can you tell if puberty is over?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

how can i tell if my son is going through puberty?

Accepted Answer

Testicular size: The first sign of true puberty in boys is growth of the testicles. Best to take your son for an exam. Puberty before the age of 9 years in boys is considered precocious.

Question 4

can you tell me how i could grow more during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

please tell me what age is puberty considered late for guys?

Accepted Answer

Generally after 14: Generally, if a boy hasn't started puberty by 14, it is worth seeing a physician to discuss it. Everyone develops at his own pace, though that's usually little comfort for those who start developing later. Most kids have annual physicals for sports or school, and part of that exam is checking for normal growth and development. It's a good time to ask those types of questions.

Question 7

can you tell me how late in puberty can you have growth spurts?

Accepted Answer

Growth spurts: If you've completed puberty you aren't likely to grow taller.  Girls complete puberty by ages 15 to 17 &amp; for boys it is by ages 16 to 17. However, if one enters puberty late, they will usually also complete it late. Our height is largely determined by genetics (our parents' height).

Question 8

how can you tell if you hit puberty? what are the telltale signs?

Accepted Answer

A process, not event: Puberty is series of changes, not just a stage that you "hit". It is a process that occurs over several years. Girls will usually start with breast development. Later, the onset of periods and the growth of pubic and underarm hair. Boys will experience an increase in size if their penis and testicles, and a change in skin of the scrotum, and they, too will start growing body hair.

Question 9

could you tell me what happens if you hit puberty at the age of 12?

Accepted Answer

Puberty: Puperty often occurs gradually.  The average age to enter puberty for girls is 10 and for boys is a bit later.  If you haven't started puberty by 14  and boys by 16 you will want to contact your doctor. For girls breast development is the first sign of puberty, for boys it is testicular growth.

Question 10
