is it normal to have quite alot of hair up your bum?
hi I'm 14 and I have loads of pubic hair yet I have no breast.:( Am I normal!
I just turned 16 and I look like 21 year old. I got my first beard at 13 "YES" at 13. I started to get facial hair at 12.
When I told my brothers and brothers friends they told it is absolutly normal and they said I will look better, they always wanted beard at my age and they said I should be proud at it and should show off- know you tell me how can I show off at school becasue most of them havven't even got mostash yet. It might be because they are whites.
And yes I also want to know why Asians get hair far qicker then whites
hi
