Puberty problems!!!

[jmaguire24]

OK, so 14 here and puberty is a pain in the butt. Can you just tell me if any of you have experienced the same issues as me? I have across my shoulders and I have tons of blackheads on my face around my nose and chin. I also have stretchmarks all over my upper arms, shoulders, and on my sides :( Also is it normal for a kid my age to have some hair on their stomach and chest? Thanks guys! :)

With the black heads i have them on my nose as well, and the hair part, it's normal people grow at different stages, i've got a tiny bit of chest hair :)

Yeah, I've basically got hair everywhere. That's normal.

You have across your shoulders? If it's acne like it is around your face, then that's also normal. People tend to get it either on their back/face, or sometimes both. I got it on my face, brother back.

I think that the stretch marks are caused as your body is growing quickly, hence it stretching. I've got little of it, but I know a couple of people that have them.

Hope I helped. :) Welcome to VT, by the way.
Thanks!

Yes, I'm quite hairy too (now 18) and got hairy from an early age, so dont worry if you feel harier than your peers at 14! Blackheads and acne are the horrible bit (for both boys and girls), and hoplefully obver time go. As for the stretch marks, they're normal, if you've had a recent groth spurt, and again should clear over time.

I got rid of my blackheads and pimples with lots and lots of hot showers. At first they got a little worse, but then most of them went away.

I think I had all of those by the time I was 14. I had hair on most of my chest and my whole stomach was covered. You're fine.

I dont have blackheads or acne so I count myself lucky really - but I swim and sauna most days so maybe that stops them. Its your skin and oily - I have seen some blackhead remover things so maybe you can look out for these.

chest hair just a bit but like pubes and pits I shave -
