Body and facial hair in boys
In the months and years following the appearance of pubic hair, other areas of skin which respond to androgens develop heavier hair (androgenic hair) in roughly the following sequence: underarm (axillary) hair, perianal hair, upper lip hair, sideburn (preauricular) hair, periareolar hair, and the rest of the beard area. Arm, leg, chest, abdominal, and back hair become heavier more gradually. [size=x-large]There is a large range in amount of body hair among adult men, and significant differences in timing and quantity of hair growth among different ethnic groups.[/size]

how do you calculate your max potential height?

I am an Indian boy, we are known to be hairy i guess, does it have something to do with race, I am 16 and shave every 2-3 days. Can I still grow? I am 5'8 and I want to grow.

this is really bullshit

i shave 5 times a week for almost 1.5 year and i grown 7 cm in that period of time...

maybe its because my dad is hairy, if i'm going to beas hairy as him i have a LONG! way to go i have little chest hair you cant see it realy good and my dad is focking much so Its more like looking to your dad or some one else in your family and comparising the hair you have.. I think i have still some grow to go because my dad is way hairier than me and his feet are 1.5 seize bigger so

people whitout much hair keep growing till there 20? so bullshit this the most people in my class whit much hair are fockig tall, one guy is a gorilla and he is 6'6

I'm turning 16 this july.....i got a moustache and chin hair, but i don't have a beard yet, so does that mean that my growth plates are still open? So i still have hope with getting my legs longer through swimming and biking?

if your dad is hairy than it depends on it. if he isnt hairy at all and he has around the same hairamount as you than your growth plates are probably closed

weightlifting can't harm you because when i was 12 i did alot of weightlifting, and i grew normally for my age

i weightlift alot today and i am 14 yet i am 174 cm which is neither tall nor short for age

weight lifting can actually hlep you grow if you do it correctly..my friend he started lifting then he grew 6 inches over the summer. everyone was like whoa when we saw him

Your height doesn't have anything to do with facial hair, because simply by shaving everyday when you don't have any hair on your face, you force hair to grow more quickly (and this doesn't mean you will stop growing more quickly)

I'm 13 and already I have to shave regularly, does that mean that I'm done growing?
