#puberty

Anon feels like getting their first period was almost traumatic because of how deeply ashamed they felt about it, even though everything about it was normal and they knew it would happen.

Even though he was a total late bloomer, James was actually pretty happy with himself. He knew he was never going to be some star athlete, and honestly, he was perfectly content taking his little art classes outside of school. Of course, being a high school senior while looking like a thirteen-year-old came with its fair share of teasing. It was like puberty had just completely forgotten about him. At this point, he’d pretty much resigned himself to looking underdeveloped forever. No girl wanted him, and no guy wanted to be him. So, James just kept to himself.

But this year was going to be completely different. One of the school jocks was about to take a joke just a little too far—and it would change everything.

Everyone was sitting in science class, but with prom and graduation right around the corner, nobody was actually paying attention to the teacher anymore. She might as well have just put on a YouTube video and gone out for lunch.

James was tucked away at his corner desk, quietly sketching a landscape, while Billy—the star linebacker of the football team—was loudly running his mouth.

"Bro, I don't even know how I'm gonna ask Lisa to prom," Billy complained to his friends. "She always wants me to do some extra, over-the-top bullshit and I just can't be bothered. But hey, I guess Twiggy over there won't be taking anyone at all, so it could be worse."

James tried his best to ignore the bursts of laughter, but after four years of hearing the same garbage, it was getting seriously old. He threw a sharp, annoyed glare across the room.

"What’s that? You got something to say, Twiggy?" Billy mocked, playing to his audience. "You want me to ask Lisa for an extra razor so you can keep shaving those legs?" He laughed loudly, his friends joining right in. "Hairless freak. He’s not even a man. He’s like a freaking robot or something."

"That’s ENOUGH, BILLY!"

As the words left James' mouth, his voice violently cracked, dropping instantly into a deep, booming baritone. The sheer, low resonance of it sounded like... well, like a grown man.

James immediately recoiled, spooked by the sound of his own voice. He swallowed hard, massaging his throat as if he could rub the deep tone away. But when he tried to clear his throat, his usual young, soft voice was completely gone.

The other guys just shrugged it off and turned back around. Billy felt a sudden, weird chill run down his spine when James spoke up, but he forced himself to ignore it.

Silently panicking, James kept trying to clear his airway. *What the hell was that?*

Then, ever so gently, he felt a strange, vibrating heat pool in his groin. He instinctively clutched his stomach and hunched over his desk. It felt like something was rapidly expanding and shifting beneath his hands. *What is happening to me?*

Bolting upright from his chair, he muttered a strained excuse to the teacher and bolted for the bathroom. Billy, looking suspicious and curious, casually trailed behind him.

Inside the bathroom, James gripped the edges of the sink, staring into the mirror and trying to slow his breathing. He huffed and puffed, sweat suddenly beading and dripping down his forehead. Right before his eyes, his facial structure began to warp—his jawline elongated, the soft edges sharpening into hard angles.

"Huh?" He sounded heavy, almost clumsy with this new, thick jock tone.

Suddenly, his body began rapidly, painfully stretching in every direction. His clothes instantly started looking ridiculous. His t-shirt shrank up into a crop top, and his jeans inched their way up his calves.

"Ugh! Oh! Make it stop! This hurts!" James yelled, the sheer pressure of his expanding frame becoming too much. He collapsed onto the tiled floor, curling into a tight ball, desperately trying to compress himself to stop the growth.

With a loud *pop*, his feet burst straight out of his sneakers. When he looked down, his toes were thicker, instantly sprouting coarse little hairs. They looked like hobbit feet.

That was exactly how Billy found him on the bathroom floor: a gangly, awkward man-child literally bursting out of his own clothes.

Billy stood there in a state of absolute shock and wonderment. "Damn..." he muttered softly. "I didn’t think this would actually happen to you."

In pure agony, James looked up at him, tears of pain and fear in his eyes. "Wha—what did you do to me?"

"I just hated looking at you being all boyish. I kinda felt bad for you," Billy admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "There was this spell going around online... it said if I bullied you hard enough, it would force you to become one of us. It was a joke! I didn’t think the shit was actually gonna work!"

"ARGH!" James roared as his biology completely took over. He didn't even have time to process the betrayal.

His bones cracked and popped like fireworks as his thighs thickened, splitting the denim of his jeans right down the seams. The dark hair from his toes began spreading like wildfire—racing up his shins, flooding his calves, and coating his thighs. His maturity exploded in size and girth, a thick, enviable bush of hair growing up and out in a dark V.

James’ torso widened aggressively as thick slabs of muscle began packing onto his frame. His abs defined themselves, deepening with every ragged breath he took, while his chest swelled out into heavy, boulder-like pecs. A massive shelf of muscle took over his torso; there would be absolutely no hiding this.

As soon as the sculpted muscle appeared, it was instantly blanketed by a prickly dusting of dark hair. The hairs multiplied by the second, starting as a thick trail up his belly before fluffing out across his chest into a dense, masculine mat. It was a symbol of pure virility that any man would envy. No shirt on earth would ever hide it. James looked down at his changing body in sheer disbelief.

"No, I don't want this! I don't know who I'm becoming!"

Billy smirked, leaning against the bathroom wall as he watched the transformation peak. "You don't have a choice anymore, bro. You're becoming a real man now. This is what it feels like. Just let it consume you. Let go."

"Ohhhhh!"

James finally surrendered, letting his muscles relax from the agonizing tension. The moment he stopped fighting it, his body exploded into its final growth spurt. The tattered remnants of his clothes became nothing more than rags hanging off a behemoth. He shot up from his scrawny 5’6”, 150-pound frame, blowing right past average height until he leveled out at a massive 6’5” and 220 pounds of pure, solid muscle.

He lay flat on the cool bathroom floor, panting as the new hair tickled and twirled its way across his skin. His armpits bushed out, releasing a heavy, potent musk into the room. A light dusting of hair crept up his shoulders and drifted down his back, connecting with the wild growth on his chest. His shoulders and biceps bulked to twice their original size, coarse dark hair coating his forearms all the way down to his hands, which had transformed into thick, calloused paws.

Slowly, the violent growth began to ease up. James lay there, his heavy breathing gradually steadying. He was a sweaty, incredibly hairy, muscular mess on the tile. Then came the final touch: a heavy five o’clock shadow pushed through the skin of his newly defined, Grecian jawline. His eyebrows thickened, maturing his face instantly, and his now-thick, voluminous hair curled gently over his forehead.

Slowly, he pushed himself up onto his massive new legs, exploring his altered form. Everything felt completely different—heavy, powerful, and solid. He let out a deep, oafish laugh, instinctively running his thick fingers through his new chest hair.

Billy stood there, proudly admiring the masterpiece he'd accidentally created. "We need to get you some clothes, man, and head out into the world. All that pent-up testosterone you've got now? You're gonna need to put it to good use."

The two unlikely friends turned and walked out of the bathroom together, stepping straight into a completely new life.

"acne isn't bad/weird! it's natural"

but you switch up when it's bright red, all over someone's face, and struggling with constantly breaking out?

or when it's on someone's chest, on someone's back, on someone's lower body, on collarbones, or on shoulders?

so do you actually think acne is okay or do you think acne is only okay if it's on your face, barely there and falls into what is 'normal'?

I cannot with people calling people who have acne disgusting, like oh my! someone is going through puberty and has acne?!??!?/sarc this is not new information guys,,
