Puberty, Early Growing.

[Qu1ck]

I am in my teens but I am worried because I had my health class this past semester and they talked about guys usually start going through puberty at around 12 & 13. When I heard that I started thinking back to when my testicles and penis started to initially grow.

I remember being about 8 or 9 years old (3rd or 4th grade) and I was in the classroom of my school and my penis started to get erect. I thought this was normal so I thought nothing of it. This happened all the time and I always tried to hide it. I even had the "wet" dreams at this age as well.

When I was 10-11 (5th-6th Grade) my voice got really deep. My teachers and parents were surprised but thought nothing of it so I didn't either. I haven't had a wet dream since I was 12 years old (7th Grade).

I am in High School at the moment and we all know how guys say their penises are 7-8 inches long and we all know there's a 1% chance that they are actually telling the truth but I have measured myself recently when erect and it is 6.5-7 inches long. I would consider myself the most mature out of my class mates and even sometimes the entire High School at times just because they still act like children and mess around in classes. Even the Seniors I think are less mature than myself.

So my question really is that going through puberty that early is safe or not? I feel like I am a 30 year old man with my back pains and all but it just seems like I am older than the rest of the school. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for any responses!

Well my back pain comes and goes. 1 month it hurts then doesn't hurt for another 3 months or so. Recently during Thanksgiving week my back was hurting so much that i couldn't get out of bed. Whenever I would try to turn side to side or bend over it would hurt with intense pain. My uncle says he has the same problems at times and he says its because of our spines, there is a little disk shape on the bottom of our spines and supposedly it is smaller than most peoples' (he went to a doctor for his back and the doctor said that) and he said it's genetic.

I do weightlifting as well but nothing intense on the legs or back. I mostly work out my upper body but don't do squats since my dad says that can stop my growth (height wise).
