//**Boys and Puberty**//

Boys during puberty are very aware of what changes they are experiencing. In locker rooms, change rooms, gyms, dorms and more, boys compare themselves with others. Things like muscle tone for example. Usually the tallest, the strongest and the most developed command the majority of their peers. So really the later you enter puberty directly effects your self esteem!

Sweat glands change in both boys and girls at this time, parents will probably want to start encouraging their sons/daughters to start using deodorant. Growth of pubic hair is the most obvious indication of male puberty, and because of a major increase of sex hromones random arrections are very common. All boys begin to experience erections when they don't expect them, what bothers boys is that it seems to usually happen during awkward moments.

Parents should start talking to their kids about growth and bodies, from an early age. This helps make the topic easier to talk about later on. While most parents realise that they have to talk to their daughter when she's about to start periods, some neglect to have any discussions about development with their sons.

A wet dream is perfectly normal and is a sign that a boy is maturing sexually. With age, wet dreams will become less frequent.

Boys sometimes are concerned about the development of the testes and penis. In most males, one testicle hangs lower than the other, so that when you walk they don't rub. Penis size also brings up feelings of anxiety, because boys with small penises are often teased by their peers.

As a boy's larynx (adams apple) grows, it causes his voice to break which is often quite embarrasing. Once his adams apple has enlarged to its full growth, your voice will deepen. And it will be goodbuy to the days when he's be mistaken for his mother or sister when he answers the telephone!... ha ha ha
