Hi there -
So...to only just now have a small amount of pubic hair is pretty late. The average age to notice the first pubic hair is 12 in boys - with 97% of boys having pubic hair by 14 years old. I think, for you, a more important sign because of your age is testicular growth. Have you noticed significantly larger testicles since you were, say 8 or 9 years old. The reason I say this is more significant is that almost all boys have shown testicular enlargement by the time they are 13 - so this would put you in an age where you should have absolutely have seen your testicles grow to almost adult size.
So, I would say you are absolutely delayed. Should you be "worried", though? I don't think you should be worried since you now have some signs of puberty. I DO think that you need to talk about it with your doctor soon. It may be appropriate for you to take some growth hormones now - or for it to at least be on your doctor's radar so they can consider it in a year or so if there is not more significant development.
I hope that helps a little. Good luck!!
