      Hi, Jedamum, being in a All boy school, doesn't mean no interaction with girls, in fact, they have so many chances, co-projects, join-celebration, charity drive, tuition class..., you name it, worse is introduced by friends, :lightrod: I just found out recently... no wonder he started to ask for hair gel and pimple cream early this year. 🤷

      Now it's my turn!

      This is gonna sound so funny!!

      I've been trying to get my boy (14 too!) to wash his face frequently coz of pimple problem and comb his hair...it's been such a chore!!

        Me too! Just that mine is 12 and I did his facial last night! I make him scrub his hair 100 times every time he washes so that the forehead will have less pimples. He said he will not do it 100 times, but 200 times because someone called him mooncrater yesterday!

                :rotflmao: Didn't expect such a discussion lurking in this thread.


                Boys at 12 with pimples?? :scared: I did not even have it when I was 14. Think I'd better brace myself for that as DS will be 12 soon. Already I'm seeing some changes like deeper voice and less babyish skin.

                Where did my baby go?? 😢

                  None of my 3 older kids had pimples at 12 anyway - so rest easy for a while. I think they only appeared at 14 or 15 for my kids.

                    But a girl I knew had them at P4...so we always speculated that she could have under-declared her age when she arrived in SG!! :rotflmao:

                      Well, there are children who hit puberty earlier! I used to help the school put makeup on the girls before performances. Yah, some have really bad acne even in primary school.

                        Niece started having pimples at P6. Friend’s kid hit puberty early, at end P2, scary right. Pimples started roundabout at P4. Another friend’s son hit puberty and no pimples, but now in the army,not just pimples but acne.
