Not growing
I'm almost 15 years old and I'm still 4 foot 11 inches. My private parts are also way too small and I'm not interested in girls (sexualy) like other boys are. Do you think i have a hormone problem. Im really worried.
Involuntary erections are a sign that puberty is kicking in. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Some people take a little longer to go through the process, and I remember not hitting my growth spurt until I was 14 or 15. I know talking to your mom about these things can feel a little weird, but there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Everybody goes through puberty. It is completely natural, and the more you can learn about the process - the easier it will be for you. Your mother sounds like she would be supportive and understanding of your concerns. Pubic and armpit hair will start off as a fuzz. And voice changes will begin with having your voice "crack" now and then. The thoughts of sex come a little later on. Give the process another year or so. But if you are still worried, there is no harm talking to your doctor (or school nurse) about these things.
ok, I don't have any pubic hair, no armpit hair, but I do have involuntary erections. I dont think my voice has changed at all. I did talk to my mom, she said not to worry, but I didnt tell her about any of these things, Im embarassed about them. But im afraid theres something really wrong with me. Also, I dont think about normal sex things. What do you think I should do?
Hey don't worry.Jst listen to mjbrown.When I was 15 I was of your height,but now at 20 I'm 5'11'' tall.So stop worrying.Everything is normal with you.
You might just be a little late in reaching puberty. This is usually no cause for concern. Have you noticed any other body changes: like pubic hair, hair under your armpits, involuntary erections, change in voice, etc? If not, you might want to talk your parents and your doctor. Luckily, if you do have a hormone problem, it can easily be treated.
