Does master bating affect the rate of puberty.

I started masterbating very regularly at around the age of 12. I am now almost 15 and havnt seem much change in myself. I have pubic hair around my genitals but not much. I have no armpit hair, and no facial hair. This is making me very insecure because all my friends have these things but I don’t. I’m also small for my age. I’m 5’ 3’’ and 105 pounds. I’ve been working out everyday with my highschool football team for three years and saw barely any growth. I just really need help cause this is bothering me very bad.

Hi,  your growth has nothing to do with masturbation because as a matter of fact, your are even meant to grow faster because you hormones were exposed at an early stage. You are just experiencing late growth and development thats all, there is nothing to be scared of

Much of a person's development is due to heredity, and every individual will grow at his/her own rate.  It's hard to avoid, but try not to compare yourself with your friends or those you see in videos.  Be sure you are living a healthy life by getting enough sleep, eating properly, avoiding tobacco products and illicit drugs.  You are certainly getting enough exercise with football.
