Guys only - Which came first at puberty - pubes or pit hair?

Puberty was so slow

I was one of the first boys to get pubic hair, aged 12. I expected underarm hair to come through a year or so afterwards. Instead I was 16. I was very self conscious about it. One of my friends was an early developer, so when we were 10 or 11 he had his hands behind his head once and I saw down the sleeve of his T-shirt and he had an armpit full of hair. I checked mine almost every day after then, expecting to see something any day. Friends who didn't even have any pubic hair until they were almost 14 had underarm hair before they were 15 too. Puberty lasted about a year for them, but over 4 years for me. It felt very unfair!
