Chest Hair

[pubertyhero]

Hi, I am worried because I am 13 and I have lots of chest and leg hair. I also shave. Am I a really early bloomer?

[phantasmagoria]

Most likely, yes. There's nothing to be worried about.

[The3moons]

Yes, dont worry about it.. You should be lucky.

[Malevolent]

Yeah, you're ahead for your age for sure.

[Jack-kun]

As above yes it sounds like it, although I started puberty when I was 12. Remember that people will have different stages of puberty in different orders to others, so you may develop chest and leg hair first.
Another factor would be that shaving may be causing your hair to grow back faster making you having more in a shorter time.

[ScotsFury]

Yes, be thankful for what you have.

Every one is different, my voice changed, I got leg and arm hair, and I started shaving at 13, I'm almost 15 and don't have any chest hair.

[ventress23]

Indeed it is diffrent for everyone.
I am 18 with only maybe 15 chest hairs, but I had thick leg, armpit, and pubic hair when I was 10.

[J. Rock]

Yea dude I had tones of Pit Hair at 13! Don't sweat it man

[Nub]

lol my pubic hair grows slow :/ but my deep voice covers it up ahaha

not everyone grows chest hair though... some people will be much less hairy when others

I would not worry at all as you need to look at a couple of factors with regards to your development. Firstly, you need to look at your family background as if your male family members are folks who generally had gotten hairy at a young age, then it is normal that you will do the same. Secondly, the reality is that some ethnic groups are hairier than others with South Asians and folks from a Mediterranean background generally being hairier than folks from a northern European or East Asian background. As a result, just make sure you are not comparing apples to oranges especially if your friends/mates are from a different background from you.

In general folks your age getting that much hair would be early bloomers, but that is not bad. At least you will look mature for your age as the common complaint around here is folks who still look juvenile. Just remember to keep yourself well groomed, and in light of your developing a lot of hair remember that you will probably have to ensure that you shower daily as sweat does build up pretty fast on hairy guys.

You are perfectly normal- but I am a bit jealous. 18 years old and only 3 chest hairs! Plus, I only need to shave twice a week, LOL

[COBHateCrew96]

yeah i think your over. im 13 and have no chest hair, but my legs and arms are really hairy.

[Asmodias]

Hahaha! Calm down, like me you started puberty alot earlier than most boys.

Serious armpit hair, pubic hair, B.O, greasy, spotty.

And that was at about 11/12, im 14 now, still got the spots.
Don't worry, it's a sweet gift, it's great really, all my friends, or most have slightly high pitched voices, it's hilarious when girls look round at you in shock and with a slight turned on eye, and when boys listen to you in awe.

Anyway, yeah, it's fine.

I wouldn't say early because you have chest hair. A lot of guys won't ever grow hair and everyone around you could just be late. I have a friend who's extremely hairy. He had chest hair at twelve so don't worry.
