[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has had armpit hair since elementary (no idea if he has hair down there) but his voice hasn’t changed and he has soft baby skin on his face...no facial hair. Is he “in puberty” or not? He’s not muscular yet but also isn’t a jock at all. He’s always been tall for his age but now he’s 13.5 and 5’7” and many of his friends have caught up or are getting close, while he’s kind of stalled out.

I guess I’m just wondering if he’s in puberty yet. I know he’s still growing because he had a foot injury recently and doc said so.[/quote]

If he has underarm hair he's at least started puberty, I would think.  But you could ask the doctor at his next annual.[/quote]

I had underarm hair in 5th grade (girl) and I didn’t start puberty until end of 7th grade.  My oldest has had underarm hair (nothing else) for a few years and zerobother signs.  For some kids, they get this hair on the early side but not all the other changes.  My husband remembers being a kid with underarm hair earlier, but also did t really grow until 14/15.[/quote]
