Everyone is different. The rates could be more alike with others but there are others in the world that are late bloomers and started puberty later than 14. Nothing to worry about. Anyways..the girls shouldn't laugh at you about pubic hair because there's nothing really special about pubic hair except is grows like hair and actually a pain in the butt! lol. There's is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with you. [ mangoes93008's advice column | Ask mangoes93008 A Question ]

And as for the girls making fun of you, i would say that you are much more mature than they are, regardless of them hitting puberty before you. its very immature and you shouldnt take it to heart. theyll realize in time. just enjoy life right now and the beginning of your teen years, and have the time of your life. have fun, let me know if you need anything else answered.

Puberty comes at different times for different people.
Don't stress about it, it will happen soon.
As for them making fun of you, they shouldn't be.
It's none of their business on what is going on with your body, and you shouldn't feel bad that they are being nosy and mean. Everyone is different, and they should respect that.
But if you're really worried, go see a doctor.
However, remember puberty can come as late as 16-18. It depends on genetics too, so you might want to ask your aunt/mom/grandma etc. [ _chokebacktears's advice column | Ask _chokebacktears A Question ]
