Data gathered from 4,000 boys across the US revealed that, on average, white and Hispanic boys go through puberty around the age of ten, while the average age is nine for black boys.
Researchers working for the American Academy of Paediatrics said that a similar trend had been noticed in other countries, including the UK.
The doctors who volunteered for the study had examined young male patients for signs of puberty.
Nine per cent of white boys showed some signs of puberty at six, as did almost 20 per cent of black boys and 7 per cent of Hispanics, the AAP’s annual conference heard.
Overall, the average age of the onset of puberty was 18 months earlier than the long-considered figure of 11.5 years for white boys and two years earlier for black children, who had been thought to start developing aged 11.

one.
What does that voice that whispers in your ear
about right or wrong say?
Perseverance does help yield success, but
what is success if nothing is left at end.
