Please give some advice men this is the biggest weakness on my body. I feel so fragile.
Bag work improved my wrists and forearms considerably.

bag work or you also can do dumbell lifts by holdin a 10 to 15 pound weight supported by your knee then raising and lowering focus only on your forearm and wrists
Best for your forarms and wrists..
Barbell, sit on a bench and grip it overhand. Rest your forarms on your knees, atop your thighsand allow your wrists to dangle. Get the barbell and grip it overhand, now return your wrists to normal, slightly over normal resting position with your arms atop your thighs..
Now the other side.. you are going to get into a position like you are doing a hack squat. With a barbell behind your back, gripped overhand. Roll your wrists.. I generally do two to three times more weight with this excercise than the first one I mentioned.
This will get your forarms, wrist and grip strong fast.

My grip and forearms are quite strong, but my actual wrists sometimes feel weak.
I am considering training them with some isometrics.
push ups on your knuckles the best

not sure off the top of my head but if you can find anybody who does aikido or judo ask them what they do to strengthen their wrists, a good chunk of aikido involves wrist locks so they have that shit covered.

Bruce Lee had the best forearms ever. ^
Just start with palm up wrist curls and palm down wrist curls and then start adding/replacing the exercises as you get stronger. you should also get a spring loaded gripper and do reps and isometric contractions.
Some other great forearm strengtheners are:
zottman curls, leverage bar twists and curls, reverse curls, bar hangs etc.
GL with it.

You are young, your body is still growing. Just get down to some old fashioned boxing training and everything will work out alright. By old fashioned I mean doing things like pushups on your fingers and knuckles. It is a low cost solution to getting in shape. It worked for Jack Dempsey and it will work for you.

You will keep growing until you are about 20. Read the thread I posted earlier, BHOp has a 6" wrist and is an ATG.

I agree 100% with ralphc. I saw a big change in my hand/wrist strength after bag-work, knuckle pushups, finger pushups, palm pushups, and towel pullups.

Jack Dempsey was married to a prostitute also.
You're saying he increased wrist strength by slapping her back-handed everytime she was with another man ?
interesting :think
