Hi Xavier,
Average penis size for an ADULT male is 5 - 5 1/2". It can grow into your early 20's however.
We all develop at different rates/times. Stop comparing yourself to your friends. There is nothing you can do to change things. You are in puberty, no doctor is going to give you any drugs - you don't need them.
Confidence will get you the girls Xavier. Be proud of what you have an use it as best you can. Lots of guys with big penises are big pricks, if you know what I mean. Show your partner love and respect, make sure she is well taken care of, not just your needs. Learn control of your orgasm, so you can go for HOURS, not just the 10 seconds your buddies can.
You have nothing to be ashamed of, really.
Hang in there, Good luck.
Okay, Xavier, brace yourself for a lengthy response...
Males just develop slower than females. You still have a few more years to go. Personally, I wouldn't worry or stress over it. If you're hellbent on finding out if you can "speed up" the process, you could consult with an endocrinologist and maybe a urologist (with regards to whole penis size issue), but I'm willing to guess both, the specialist and the surgeon, will tell you that you are perfectly normal. I'm not a doctor, but I'm also gonna guess that "speeding up" the growth process comes with a lot of negative side effects.
In the 80s, people affected with dwarfism were given growth hormone to "speed up" the growth process and a few ended up getting a brain disease that ended up killing them (sort of like mad cow disease - prions attacked their brains). If you're prescribed male hormones, that comes with a wide array of negative side effects. Again, personally, I wouldn't go for this just to please someone else's perceptions of beauty. What the hell do those other young people know? They may have physically developed faster, but they still think like kids, you know?
By the way, a 5 1/2-inch penis is perfect. Your description of yourself is of a normal, healthy young man. If you bother to look around this board, there are guys here who are truly afflicted with congenital deformations of the penis, born without testicles, had testicles removed, were involved in freak accidents that left them disfigured, enlarged prostates, hernias, cancers, scrotal bulges, infected rashes, horrible body odour they can't get rid of, overactive sweat glands, etc. In short, guys who'd love to have what you have and would be happy.
I'm sorry if I sound like an old fuddy-duddy lecturing you. However, you need to reassess what's important and learn to love and accept yourself for who you are. It's hard at such a young age, but it's the first sign of maturity.
