Guys,
If you have NO signs of puberty, you want to go see your family doctor especially if you can't talk with your parents.
There are several things that could cause this.
One boy down our street was perpetually a pest and the classic description of a bully. (See Scott Farkus, from the movie "A Christmas Story" for an almost exact duplicate!) He was taken to the doctor, where they discovered he had undescended testicles. After an operation, he sprouted like a weed...so much so that he was almost unrecognizable. There's more to the story, but it doesn't pertain here.
If you have ANY signs of puberty...hair, voice, sweat glands, genitals... then there is hope for you to continue to develop. At least one of you remarked that you were loosing weight and developing muscles by working out. That's great, and more likely to make your body start to adjust as time goes on.
But there really isn't anything to make you go from zero to mature adult short of seeing a doctor. There is nothing so speed you along either.
Good luck.

im 16 and i have little pubic hair and little arm pit hair am i starting now and how long does it take
I know the feeling. I'm only 14 and have little pubic hair down below. also my little sisters have all got armpit hair and really starting to develop. they are 12 and are a bit taller than me. I am 5ft exactly and People say i look like a 9-10 year old. I just want to live the normal life of an average teenager. with girls and going out places. but I can't because im in a little child's body and i get rejected for that. I am really self conscious and my friends get fed up of me talking about it. i just want to express my feelings
I'm going to be straight up with you guys. I'm 19, and diagnosed with Klinefelter's Syndrome. Where in many countries, like the UK, they test for XXY-47, the United States does not... Unless you get a doctor who does because he wants to. It's not required by law here.
When I was 18, I was diagnosed. At 17, I was at the peak of my physical health. I was a national competitive swimmer. I was very thin in comparison to other swimmers. I could have been better if I were diagnosed earlier in life. If I were put on testosterone treatments earlier, when many boys start to "grow up", then I probably could've done much better. No matter how hard I had worked out and strived to be the best, I was always short because of a genetic fault that no one caught on to until it was far too late.
To the person who posted the first post (mogan?), I strongly suggest you get your kid checked out by the doctors. Request blood work to determine if he's got the extra chromosome or not. In the end, I'm sure he'll thank you. But be aware, I took the news pretty hard, but 99.5% of the men diagnosed with KS is infertile.

I also forgot to add, Mogan, that if you get your kid checked out it will affect his grades positively. I wish I had been diagnosed before my senior year in High School...
They say that KS men's brains develop slower but longer than the average man and probably the women too. Therefore, they are entitled to an IED. Yeah, I really wish I had the "extra time" on my AP Calculus exam...
But now I'm eligible to have it, and I have it now. It helps me out in college a lot.
I strongly suggest going to the doc's to have your kid checked out.

It is not unusual for girls to start their development well before boys do.
The age of puberty in girls is lowering since the 1890s....
The cause is probably better nutrian.
Also, though boys start later, they catch up quick.
That's why girls' seem more mature earlier.

im 16 and havent really hit puberty. its really embarrasing noin ya mates
younger than ya have started but to all lads girls and mums dont worry bout a thing. i am thinking of going to the doctors about getting testosterone (sorry cant spell it) treatment this boosts your hormones to work just like a little kick start. im only 5ft and i look really young i look like 10 i would show u a pic but u might wont my phone number lol.
Just go to your doctors and ask about this but im thinking of it but some people can get side effects so be careful if i get to 30 then i might think of taking it ha ha. not really.
if anyone is getting bullied because of this please just laugh with em and make a joke bout their mum or something. i chose the opposite like an id**t and started fightin everytime someone said sumet but not the best option. trust me. You No the saying cant beat em join em. if you think this was any use please reply want a chat feel free mums dads lads girls emial me at

I'm 17 years old and i think i hit puberty last year with growth spurts and i have pubic hair but very little leg hair and almost no facial and armpit hair. My penis does not seem to have grown and my shoulders are still very narrow. Is this delayer puberty?
i am 14 y.o. and i have all of the signs of puberty excep my penis hasnt grown....i have hair and the voice and all of that. i am a bit overweight. could this be the problem? my testecles even recently descended. what do i do...i dont wat to go to the doctor!
I am age 20 and can't afford a doctor and i got a girlfriend recently. I have the pubic hair and everything except my penis is the same as it was at age 10. When i masturbate i get white and sometimes clear sperm ejected. Is there something wrong with me.
i got the same problem but i'm 21
hi im 15 5'6 135lbs and still haven't hit puberty. I have pubic hair and i only show to my close friends and people on my hockey team make fun of me. my close friends tell me to shave it. there is only me and one other kid that haven't yet im pretty sure in my whole grade at school. Before i use to be taller then every single one of my friends and now they are way taller then me. i have always wondered when i will hit puberty. i have no hair in my arm pits or legs. people use to think i was older then i actually was. but now people say i look younger and have a high voice when will i hit puberty? all of my friends have a lot more muscle so i cant compete against them in any sport without loosing. i play hockey and i use to be one of the top kids on my team. but now i am one of the worst because i have no leg muscle because of this. can u please give me some advice. girls ask me to do stuff but i simply cant because of this problem.
