        [quote=\"ruohoo97\"] 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![/quote] :rotflmao: all these really cracks me up...errr BTW :offtopic: 😉

          :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.

                    Yes. Some kids start earlier. My friend's gal started end P4. Now at P5, her whole forehead has soooooo many big pimples (or much cos uncountable). Poor gal.

                    DD's P5 classmates are tall too. Some Girls are as tall as 1.64cm & boys even taller. But I do noticed, tend to be from PRC families.

Sadly, she did not grow much after that until this year, when she suddenly gains another 4 cm. She is now targeting 1.72m. Greedy, greedy... Hope my son will grow to my grandpa's height, which is 1.84m or my cousin's height, 1.92m. greed runs in the family... hehehe...

                      I think the pimples is from lack of understanding in keeping his forehead clean because of the hormonal change. So I devised some simple methods to get him on a routine, after that facial a few days ago, his forehead cleared up significantly. So I hope all the hair scrubbing continues to keep his hair less oily. The baby skin is still there, sans forehead, the voice is deeper... aiyah... kind of sad that childhood is almost over. Teenage is setting in.
