Is it normal to be ugly during puberty?

Here is the stages of puberty I have noticed so far:

Age 13: I started to grow some pubes on my penis. I still sounded like a girl. No leg hair. I dodn't grow height wise at all.

Age 14: My voice started to crack and was getting deeper. I was growing really fast that year. I went from being like 5'2" to 5'9". I also grew a huge appetite.

Age 15: Sh!t started to turn ugly. I got uglier. My really nice shiny hair became really dry and started noticing curls, when I cut my hair all of the sudden I had curly hair. I got acne on my face like crazy. I'm always self conscious and think people are judging me. My breath got smellier. I started to not poop as much. I got bloated (That sounds weird coming from a guy). My Body odor became more intense, deodorant doesn't last as long as it used to and I smell way faster. I'm also really moody and find everything boring. And people seem to think I'm weird now because I'm so quiet and to myself.

Age 16: Grew hair on my butt crack. That's about it.

Age 17: Where I'm at now. Nothing has changed. I still have acne and all the stuff I listed when I was 15 years old.

Is it just hormones? Am I going through a phase? If so When will it end? By the time a guy is 17, shouldn't this all be over with by now? I've been going through hell ever since age 15.

It sounds very much like your hormons, but as a young men we all went through some kind of change, and each of us got something differant from it, and the problem is nobody can say just when it will end for you, its all down to the human race, and our DNA.

Acne isn't that big of a concern to me. I eat healthy, and whenever I use things like proactive, it goes away and comes right back. So I think it will go away on it's own eventually. Both my parents had acne and it went away when they were both 17. I'm more concerned with my mood change. Ever since age 15 I feel really bored with everything and I'm moodier. What happened? Did my hormones kick into overdrive? I don't understand why all it seems like everything changed for the worse.

Hello! Everyone goes through this phase, it'll be over soon and ppl will stop talking bout it. after i while Pukka forget what you were. so just ignore. do not try a hundred things for use acne to go, trust me, i had acne too, letting it heal naturally is best. or you could try some home remedies- dry neem leaves, powder them. apply with very little water, make paste out of it. worked for me.

O' boy, yes us boys got all the s**t on growing up, and you have had your share and just hope there is a way out for you.
So how try washing more often, keep away from fast foods, get out and exercise more often, Have you googled acne and try earthclinic you may find some help there.
Some things that are good for your blood, Cayenne, Garlic and Ginger, OK the Cayenne mix with tomato paste and thin it with olive oil and take 3 spoonfuls x 3 times a day, the Garlic take a whole head and chop the cloves down very fine and mix with olive oil, and take as above on alternative days, and last the Ginger try this either fine grated fresh but keep it in the frezer, or a powder in black or green tea with honey and lemon, all this info you can google for more info.
Good Luck
