Ok this is very embarrassing but I have just turned 20 years old and I still have no signs of puperty happening anytime soon. My voice is still very high and have been told im very baby faced. I have no luck in growing any faciel or chest hair. Just recently I have grown a few pubic hairs and i thought puperty was finally happening but it stopped there and im getting worried now.
I really hate having to expose this but I went to my doctor and he laughed so my confidence is really shaken in asking others for advice.
So what could I possibly do now. Is there somthing that will force puperty to happen for me or am I doomed to look and sound like a child forever?

Hi honey! I understand this is embarrassing for you, but this is about YOUR health! And what your doctor did was DISGUSTING! So don't go to him/her anymore OK? Below is a very good link for you to take a look at, there are many reasons why puberty can be delayed, it can be in the family, it can be about certain illness's or a pituitary problems or thyroid problems! So I take it that you have vrtually NO body hair, in particular your armpits or your pubic area? Usually when you get hair in these 2 areas it is a matter of months before everything starts happening! So take a look at your family, do the males in your family look "young" do you have any brothers or male cousins with similar issues? Check off this list 1st OK? Once you get some more information, get a new doctor and believe me they will do a blood work up for you - especially a hormone and thyroid blood test! Please let me know how you make out OK? And good luck and health honey!

Anyway im not going to think about it today and just enjoy the rest of my birthday.
Once again thanks for not laughing.

Happy Birthday honey! And I would NEVER laugh at anything to do with health issues! It is VERY helpful to know that you are not alone with your questions, this is why this site is SO helpful! When you go and see a new doctor, if you have knowledge of things to look out for it can actually kick start the process! So go in and ask for a Thyroid, Pituitary, and Hormone Blood Test! Because sometimes if you don't point a doctor in the right direction, they might just miss that! I am thinking that if there is nothing wrong with your glands, then they will probably put you on a testosterone patch, and kick start your puberty! So like you said, enjoy the rest of your day and just demand better, and IF anyone of them laugh at you, tell them how totally unprofessional they are! I doubt they will though! You just unfortunately had a jerk the first time! Good luck and health, and please let me know how you make out!
