What is the experience of a boy becoming a man?

Changing from a boy to a man is actually a gradual process. This change is subtle, and the process may take a long time, not just a sudden change. Changing from a boy to a man is called growth, also called transformation. Many people have completed the transformation in a quiet time. Many people may not realize this process. Many people I met suddenly looked back many years later and found that they had actually completed this growth. Since it is a transformational growth, there is bound to be a period of pain, which may be an opportunity for you to suddenly change.
