A member asked:

My son has mini black hairs above his scrotum but is still short and has a high voice. is he going through the early stages of puberty?

Maybe: 1st of all, how old is he? Secondly, pubic hair can ceratinly be an early sign of puberty, prior to the development of the other signs mentioned. Your pediatrician can certainly help here after examining your child.

Yep!: Welcome to manhood! those little black hairs are the beginning! next, you'll see armpit hair, muscular development, voice changes, & everything else that changes a boy into a man - it may take a few years, but this is a great sign! the black genital hairs tell us that he is hormonally active & that his tissues are responsive to the coming changes! everything is on track just perfectly! party time!
