Oh, damn you. You just brought back memories of my sore shins. My poor, poor sore shins.

I seem to be starting earlier than many... Damn.

Aaah the infamous "Aspergers". I hate living with that condition. Middle/High school will suck for you and I know this b/c not many people understand us.

I have Asperger's too, school has been hellish for me. I now live with constant anxiety and depression due to my past experiences with other human beings. My best advice is to not draw attention to yourself, bullies crave that. I have another friend with Asperger's who lashes out and yells everytime someone picks on her, this doesn't help at all, it only makes you all the more "entertaining" to torment. Just be modest and subtle and ignore anyone who gives you crap.

Mewtwo understands what it's like to be different...

Reading that made me smile. It's great to read about someone who understands that people develop at different rates (and don't think any less of them for it, seeing beyond something so superficial); I'm sure a lot of people who've posted here that are having a hard time or have had a hard time with puberty didn't have someone like that.

As for myself, personally, I didn't have much of a hard time with it at all. Mostly because I was lucky and experienced it early, so by the time my peers were experiencing it, I had facial hair, a deep voice and good (enough) complexion.

My boyfriend looks younger than his age. he sounds younger as I said before his voice hasn't cracked yet, he is 18, so he's either experiencing it or he hasn't hit it yet. Everybody is different!

Well thank you everyone. I'm 15 and I have chest hair just growing now and I was wondering when it would grow fully. And the muscle thing, my friend is 5 months older than me and he's really muscular as of recently so I just wanted to know. :)

My boyfriend is 18 and he's hairless chested.

Not sure, my boyfriend is 18 and he's up to my eyes, I'm not that tall, he isn't either. But I still love him.

Wasn't bad for me, I grew 2 feet in the last year and my voice got deeper. It wasn't really a big deal. :p
