Dear 14-Will Puberty Happen Anytime Soon B/C I Want To Get Sexual?,
Most boys start puberty some time between age 10 and 16. The fact that hair has appeared under your arms and on your testicles indicates that you are right on schedule. Just remember that everyone develops differently and at their own pace.
The penis and testicles get larger during puberty, but it is important to remember that penises vary a great deal, and the size of your penis is not very important. For more information, read the answer to Penis Size.
TeenHealthFX wants you to be patient - there isn not anything you can do to speed up puberty. Your body will develop in its own time. We also want you to know that when you do start becoming sexually active, it is important to practice safer sex.

Among young people ages 12-17, prescription drugs have become the second most abused illegal drug, behind marijuana.
