A member asked:

My 13 year old son has 2-3 very small black hairs on his scrotum but is still short and has a high voice is he going through puberty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Pubic hair implies that he may be close, but puberty begins with enlargement of testes in boys. A delay in puberty isn't diagnosed in boys until they're about 14. Once in puberty, kids grow much more rapidly.
