    Question

    Hi. I'm 11 years of age and I'm starting to see a very slight growth of hair in my pubic area. I was wondering if I'm starting purberty?

    Answer

    Yep, and good luck! Remember 40 pounds and 10 inches height is pretty normal. After hair comes stinky parts, so shower regularly and keep your skin healthy!
