Why does my Adams apple poke out?

When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what’s called an Adam’s apple. Everyone’s larynx grows during puberty, but a girl’s larynx doesn’t grow as much as a boy’s does. But because boys’ larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls’ voices.
