Do you believe that puberty should start at a later age like 20?

[Anonymous]

I'd definetely say yes. At 13-14 you're not mature enough, so it's not a very good thing.

I say that, because when i was 13-14 i took on A LOT of height. i become almost 6" taller within a year. And during 13 of course, i wasn't mature enough t find out about my sexual fantasies and fetishes, so i didn't saw height as i see it now. if i did, then i'd try to stunt my growth by then.

And unfortunately there's no turning back, and not a second chance (hope i'm wrong about second chance of course) .

So do you believe that puberty should start uring 20 when a person has found out about his sexuality, sexual preferences, fetishes, etc so he can manipulate himself easier?

[jmr2191]

If that were beneficial to the survival of the human species, we would've evolved for later-onset puberty. What we have seen is a consistently similar onset of puberty relative to the lifespan of Homo sapiens over our evolution as a species. Thus, whether or not we understand why puberty starts when it does, it is done like this for a reason. Perhaps it can be a explained by reproductive peaks of males and females. The male reaches his reproductive peak around age 22 and the female a little after, thus making reproduction best possible at a time when sexual maturity is reached and the sperm and ovum are of the best quality.

[Asker]

enough with reproduction... i'm not even interested

[jmr2191]

You asked for an opinion and I gave you mine. That's it. All you need is to say thank you and move on or not respond at all.

[Asker]

ok thank you but you'll not get MH lool

[jmr2191]

OMG I feel so insulted! The world will end because you won't choose my answer as the most helpful! I give the most helpful and honest information I can to each question I answer. I'd rather be honest and give the most accurate information I can than get more of my opinions selected as most helpful. Blatantly lying by telling people solely what they want to hear is counterproductive.

[26ukdude]

No not really, nature knows better than you, there's a reason we develop in our teens, the best time biologically for reproducing is late teenage years and early twenties when we are at our physical peak. Kinda makes sense dont ya think instead of waiting till our bodily functions are past their best to start having children?

[Asker]

nature knows shit in fact. see how many people complain about their appearance

[Asker]

and i don't give a damn about reproducing i don't care about having children

[26ukdude]

If it werent for reproducing you wouldn't even have been born, what kind of a species endures if it doesn't reproduce. The human brain is the most complex thing known to man, i'd say nature has done pretty damn well with us actually. You see any other species planning trips to Mars, building computers, making planes, medicines, cars etc? Every other animal is living like it was thousands of years ago, we are advancing at a phenominal rate.

[Asker]

i'm not talking about mentally but physically. don't you see how many people complain about their appearance? if "nature" was perfect then she'd made us JUST like how we wanted to be. so beat it!
and children are for those who can raise them and have enough money to make them feel comofortable. i'm not the type to raise children so i won't follow

[26ukdude]

Nature is neither crual nor kind, it just is. You clearly have issues you need to address and keep raising this appearence thing, you think you're ugly or something? small penis? can't get a girlfriend? which is it?

[Asker]

do you read my opinions and questions? if you do then you'll find out

[Asker]

i'll say it briefly.. i just want to be a short skinny hairless feminine guy!!! hope i made myself clear now!!!

[26ukdude]

well I guess you can lose weight, and use hair removal products, and there is hormone replacement therpay if you are desperate, the only thing you can't do much about is your height

[Asker]

DO YOU SAY THAT I'M FAT? I'M 123 POUNDS!!! skinny just belongs to the package that's why i mentioned it. i do waxing as well and you know in my F*CKING country it's not such easy to convince doctors to give you prescriptions for hrt

[26ukdude]

No, YOU said you want to lose weight, not me. And if you wax then you should be completely hair free for a few days since its better than shaving. And with all due respect, the EU had to bail you lot out so I dont think money on HRT is a priority for your doctors when they have illness' like cancer, heart disease, life saving surgery and dementia to deal with on a limited budget. You are alive, you have somewhere to sleep I presume, food, water and shelter. You could always swap positions with the poeple in Gaza and Iraq being blown up, or West Africa hiding in fear from Ebola, or be another one of the millions starving to death?

[Asker]

where i said i want to lose weight? don't be crazy!!! i'm 123 pounds. i don't want to be any more or any less now. and waxing is TEMPORALRY. not permanent. i've done some laser hair removal sessions as well but they're damn expensive. and no i wouldn't to but i want something more. once i'd make my ideal self a reality i'd be happy and have achieved my goal in my life

[DivaMonae]

Umm... I get what you're saying but it's really no point in discussing this it's not like one of those majority votes and them if most people agree to will go into effect.

And no I don't. If this were to happen them everything would get set back our interest I'm the opposite r the same sex, we wouldn't be taught about health, our bodies, sexual needs, etc and be confused cause we don't know what's going on.

We'd basically be kids but grown and go through the crappy time when we should be living on our own trying to become successful and independent. Which is hard enough already.

[SquishyHarpSeal]

You sure are something aren't you hahahah :'D

[cheeseysouffle]

No. The point of puberty is to develop yourself mentally and physically. You can't have sexual preferences until after puberty. If you push it back to 20 suddenly you'll say 30. It's a developmental thing that is pretty linear

[Asker]

yeah but at 20 at least you'd have the knowledge how can you manipulate your height and stunt your growth. at 13 you aren't smart enough to do such a research

[cheeseysouffle]

Yeah, but developmental change is based on harming your body. That's completely different than just willingly changing what you want.

[Asker]

anyway i wish i could at 13 to stunt it. i really regret that i didn't do anything

[cheeseysouffle]

You wish that you could have harmed your body developmentally in order to create incredible health problems just for vanity purposes?

[Asker]

i'd just drink coffee and tea and never drink milk. i was drinking chocolate milk everyday at 13, and it was a bad mistake

[Asker]

but i doubt that my mother would let me to drink coffee

[cheeseysouffle]

Coffee doesn't stunt growth. What was found was that people who drank coffee tended to not grow as fast. It was also shown that those people who drank coffee substituted it for dairy products or other drink options. This leads to malnutrition. There is a strong correlation also between these people and osteoporosis.

So again, it would create health problems in the future for you.

[Asker]

ok it'd slow it down. coffee and tea, no milk, eat less (i was a damn fat-ass back then), sleep less... ok if i did all those things then i'd definetely be like at least 3 inches less now... and osteoporosis comes at a veeeeery late age.

anyway for the last 2 years i never ever ate again any diary products. ok milk can be found here and there in many foods, but i avoid stuff that are pure-dairy you know.

[cheeseysouffle]

I get it but you still need to have calcium. You don't need dairy to get calcium but do you get what I'm saying right? Malnutrition is not a good idea.

[Asker]

of course i get but anyway my opinion is that people deserve a second chance. height isn't funny you know.

[aamy811]

Dude puberty is the reason your all sexual. Notice when your six you just see boys and shapes. But when you hit puberty you start to see boys and girls. Puberty is when you start to learn about yourself. And you should learn about yourself when your young and don't have any responsibilities and can make mistakes. Not when every mistake can be detrimental

[Asker]

yeah but i think might must be developed first not body

[Asker]

*mind

[aamy811]

We'll puberty Attacks us all in different ways some guys get to develops mentally first, others physically. Also not being 6'0 until your like 22 would be weird.

[Asker]

eh? what? so everyone under 6' looks weird? i didn't get it :-/

[aamy811]

We'll not everyone under six foot, that's a bad example. I mean everyone still having their kid bodies till they where like 22 would be weird

[Asker]

yeah because we're used to like that. if puberty started at 20 it woul;dn't be weird

[Stuff_and_stuff]

No? Wow. Imagine that though. Like with the high pitch thing you guys go through lol. I mean we're all used to being 12 and puberty hitting but now imagine it happening to 20 year olds. It's weird

[Asker]

but at 20 you're smarter

[Stuff_and_stuff]

Yeah but wouldn't it kinda suck to miss out on a little bit of learning and experience or whatever? I mean you'd know what's coming but you can't exactly be ready for something you know that's going to happen at times

[Asker]

eh? sorry i didn't get it

[TadCurious]

Well if we all vote "Yes, Absolutely!!!" I guess that will be binding on Mother Nature.

[Asker]

who gives a shit about nature lol? when "she" treats people ufairly

[DesiBoo]

Lol no. Puberty matures you, I wouldn't wanna be 20 and have the body of a 5 year old. Puberty makes you, moooooore you.

[Asker]

yeah but at 13 you're not smart enough to make a descent research about how can manipulate your height, or even make your features more feminine because you can control that as well during puberty as i've read on the internet

[DesiBoo]

I started my period when I was 9, and it taught me a looooooot. On life you have to adapt and overcome, if puberty came later we'd be bitching about that also.

[DesiBoo]

*In not on oops.

[Asker]

anyway there's one thing that i'm striving for. for humans to be able to MANIPULATE their body and appearance just what they like. like creating someone on the computer. i'm praying everyday for this to be reality as long as i'm still alive it'd make millions of people happier

[DesiBoo]

Then everyone would be fake, and try to look like each other as some kind of new fashion trend. I like the way I look, you look (not that I know o. O), and how everyone else looks. It makes us, us. We are humans, we are supposed to have flaws, we are supposed to look different. Don't you read books? When stuff like this happens we turn into a Divergent/Hunger Games world. Humans are like snow flakes, pretty, cold, and different. We are meant to look like we do.

[Asker]

no sorry but i disagree. Not EVERYONE likes to look the same. And you're not forced to change. there are some people, like you i guess, who like the way they are now.

for example... tell me do you know a lot of guys who want to be short skinny hairless and feminine? i don't think so... but i want!!! so that's a difference!! see?

And i won't LET anybody make me how must i look... whoever is he/she/it even God himself... i want to be able to MANIPULATE it... i'm human not some rubbish that was thrown out of a toilet

[Asker]

unfortunately the only thing we can do at this point is virtual reality. we can make someone just the way we like and get linked with him/her.

[DesiBoo]

I like the way I am now, because I was born to a family, who all have something genetically in common. Plastic surgery exists for a reason, take hormons and get a sex change, boom! Done! Shave your head with your new vagina, you'll sound like a girl but just be bold and skinny, if you grow boobs, geta breast reduction. You'll be femine, short,(depnds on your height) You sound like you were thrown out the toilet. I don't want to grow boobs at 20, or start my period, I'd be really late and have no idea what im doing! Talk to your parents about this, we can manipulate the human body, just not with major things, you're talking madness, that will take millions of years, but by then humans would of destroyed the earth, (you'll like the boom Unwind, trust me)

[Asker]

HOLD ON you got it all wrong. first of all i don't want to go for a sex change. besides that i'm str8. and if i did, how the hell i was supposed to PAY for all those surgeries? do you think it's easy to find that amount of money? i've already consindered a leg-shortning surgery (they cut bones from your legs) and i just asked a doctor and he told me about 20000 dollars!!! WHERE THE HELL COULD I FIND THEM? :-/

and trust me... milions of people would be happy if they'd make their ideal self (only in appearance at least) a reality.

[Asker]

surgery isn't accesible to the masses you know. only to people who are REALLY reach. we want a solution that is accesible to the masses as well

[DesiBoo]

How the hell are you going to pay for manipulation your body? That stuff is not going to be easy or cheap, unless you are a millionaire. You heated about what happened to the Ebola center, it's gonna be destroyed, history always repeats itself.

[Asker]

i already said that i want a way that would be accesible to the masses. surgery isn't. like creating or ideal self on the computer which is accesible

[DesiBoo]

Its never going to be able to happen, even if it does, not everyone is going to want to do it, and not everyone is going to have the money, because it can't be free.

[Asker]

ok not free but at least CHEAPER than surgery

[DesiBoo]

People are still poor.

[Asker]

money is another big issue... damn

[kheserthorpe]

It wouldn't have helped you. You wouldn't have been aware of your sexual preferences at 14 if you didn't hit puberty till 20.

[Patrick453]

nope, and besides, people go through puberty earlier and later than one another, i honestly think going through it at a young age is better even though at times it can be discombobulating and crazy...

[SilverWeb]

Puberty + midlife crisis + responsibility issues (career etc) = recipe for a disaster

[Asker]

ehhh? what puberty has to do with midlife crisis?

[SilverWeb]

Midlife crisis comes during the 20s nowadays. So add puberty to the mix and you got one problematic adult with hormonal issues. When hormones hit you, whatever wisdom you gut goes away.

[Asker]

midlife crisis comes at 40s-50s not 20s lol.

[jmr2191]

The midlife crisis was disproven decades ago. It's just an invalidated theory that culture refuses to let go of.

[aoifeislovable]

Sometimes I wonder about peole on this site...

[Asker]

hahahaha what do you mean?

[aoifeislovable]

People... Can you imagine looking like a ten year old until you were twenty... and you wouldn't know your sexual preferences... because you haven't started puberty yet... what school did you go to... they should be ashamed

[Asker]

ok let me put it differently... how about making your MIND develop FIRST... and your BODY develop SECOND?

[aoifeislovable]

That would just be weird

[Asker]

why?

[aoifeislovable]

So there lots of horny people walking around that haven't hit puberty yet? Seriously... Do I really need to spell it out for you... That's weird

[aoifeislovable]

Whatever school you went to should be ashamed... ashamed

[Asker]

they're ashamed ok. ok then... but i mind you that at 13 we're not smart enough to do a proper research in order to stunt our growth, if we don't want to be taller

[aoifeislovable]

You can't stunt your growth... can you? And if you can I'm sure it's not healthy... why do you want to be shorter?

[Asker]

how many times i have to repeat myself? i have said it at least 1000. anyway... my ideal body image is "short skinny hairless & feminine". makes sense now?

[aoifeislovable]

Yeah it makes sense now but you can't change your height... your just gonna have to live with it

[aoifeislovable]

I think this was a very silly question

[Asker]

if i have the money i'd go for a surgery to remove some bone from my legs

[aoifeislovable]

Are you freaking crazy? What some people will do for looks completely blows my mind

[Asker]

and it completely blows my mind why MANY people accept what this beast called "nature" gave to them. you're human you have will and desires. not a piece of toilet paper

[aoifeislovable]

I don't feel like arguing with you so let's agree to disagree and do whatever feels best for you :)

[Asker]

exactly. it's my own body and no one has the right to stop me... don't you think so? ;-)

[aoifeislovable]

Yes I completely agree... personally I would say you don't need surgery your perfect the way you are :):) but if you feel like you really want surgery then that's your choice

[Asker]

i'd like to see people's reaction because i'd be the only guy who's under the average height (i'm 5'7") that would PAY in order to be shorter. LOL

[aoifeislovable]

Oh your the perfect height... that is a feminine height... so don't try and change yourself

[Asker]

most girls are shorter than me and that annoys me

[Asker]

and after all it'll benefit me for other reasons as well to be shorter. sometimes i need to crouch to grab sth that is closer to the ground and my back aches after the crouching

[aoifeislovable]

Seriously your only 5,7 I'm 5,5 and I'm only 14 but hey it's your choice

[Asker]

are you only 14? i thoguht you were 17-18 by your pic... lol

thanks for understanding. but even if i had the money it'd be hard to find a doctor to accept :-(((((

[aoifeislovable]

Yeah it would :):) and a lot of people say that... I think I look my age😂😂

[Asker]

unfortunately society don't have similar way of thinking as me. they think that all men must be taller than women.

[DivaMonae]

This should've been MH...

[aoifeislovable]

Hahah thanks :)

[Asker]

but you insulted me

[aoifeislovable]

Hahaha you sure are something aren't you is also an insult 😂😂😂

[Asker]

i thought it was like she was saying to me that "i'm something else"

[aoifeislovable]

Never mind 😂😂😂

[Anonymous]

You can't manipulate yourself

[Asker]

i disagree

[Opinion Owner]

I'm sorry, but you can't manipulate your final height. You'll still end up being the same height.

[Asker]

you can do it with surgery and i'd do it if i had the money

[Opinion Owner]

Surgery can't make you shorter

[Asker]

you're clueless as hell. do a research

[Opinion Owner]

SURGERY can't make you shorter. Unless they saw off your legs you idiot

[Asker]

www.nlm.nih.gov/.../002965.htm <--- read here, don't be so arrogant

[Opinion Owner]

1. They only do that procedure on children with uneven legs
2. It only changes leg length, so you'd have an uneven long torso and arms and you'd look weird
3. It only shortens a small amount, probably an inch or two
3. To stunt the growth plate surgically you'd have to still be growing, but even if you were a doctor wouldn't do it. They don't let children make surgical changes to their bodies like that

[Opinion Owner]

That last one was 4 not 3 lol

[Asker]

no i don't have long torso or arms. in fact my legs are rather longer compared to the torso so i won't look weird. and that was just an example. there are many doctors who do cosmetic surgeries like that. don't be so stubborn

[Opinion Owner]

Go find one then and get off this shit

[Asker]

ok finally you admit it that. now ass for yourself kiss nature's ass

[Opinion Owner]

Not admitting it but if you think some doctor can make you 5'2" then go ahead and believe it.

Kiss natures ass? What

[Asker]

yeah i believe because i'm 5'7", which means i'm only 5 inches further. i'm not 6'7".

you seem a person who accepts what nature gave you, and that's why i said that

[Opinion Owner]

You say that like it's a bad thing? Sorry that I don't hate myself?

[Asker]

it's not bad, but it's bad to tell others to accept nature and go on

[Opinion Owner]

I never told you to just accept nature but you should accept yourself. Example, I have small boobs. I hate that but I am accepting myself.

[Asker]

hmph... since there is a solution i won't accept. i try my best to fix it

[Opinion Owner]

Your loss

[Asker]

i don't have nothing to lose... only win

[Chance1880]

Maybe Even Much Later Than That 24.

[Athleticbroo]

In b4 Justin Bieber on puberty

[Asker]

eh? anyway JB looked better before puberty
