Will anything distinct appear to show you that you're atleast moving through puberty, because I always get excited when it looks like I've grown hair or grown in height, and it's always never what I think it is, so I'm always annoyed and sad all day long cause I'm not like everyone else at all. Seriously, every friend I have already had hair all over and deepened voices either in 7th or 8th grade. I always feel so out of place, because EVERYONE else at my school went at the same time as my friends and I will be a sophomore. :( And also, when you're growing hair, let's just say underarm hair, does it grow in length then in abundance, or at the same time? Cause at the moment, it seems like some of them are slowly growing in length but not in abundance. Sorry bout all the questions. :D

with your development, that's probably because you're spending too much time comparing and wondering and waiting! Everyone is different, everyone develops at their own rate, I doubt you're that much different. When you wait, it only feels more like you're that much different.
If you've got hairs then you've begun puberty. They usually show up as fine, downy hairs, like peach fuzz (regardless where they are), and most guys actually miss this beginning stage. Then the fuzz thickens, then it darkens, then the texture changes. All veeeery slowly. But, once it begins, it progresses. Hang in there, you'll be a wooly mammoth soon enough!

Landmarks? That would be any growth, lol :P Height, weight, muscle development, voice changing, pubic hair, underarm hair, chest hair, facial hair, penis growth, testicle growth etc

Underarm hair wouldn't grow in abundance. All hair that comes in puberty grows slowly and usually ends up darker than the hair on your head.

As far as your voice, don't worry about it man. When you say that everybody's voice has changed, you're wrong! There are hundreds of kids at my school and I know that many of them have deeper voices and some of them don't just yet. Don't single yourself out like that - it feels awful.
My voice is still a bit high. Just wait for your voice to change. There's no real time in puberty that it's supposed to :D

I guess you guys are right. And thanks for answering all questions. And actually I've got another question :D Ok, does hair grow all at once or over the entire course of puberty? Or somethin like that?

Hair that comes in during puberty comes in a bit at a time. It doesn't all come in at once; it does take awhile for it to fully grow. That could be a couple of months or a couple of years. It depends on the person whether or not it takes 'till the end of puberty to grow in completely.

Yeah, cause I've been noticing that some of my hairs are starting to definitely grow and get longer, so yeah, thanks again.
