Hey there,
I am currently 14 and 4 months and really skinny and prepubescent.
I struggle with a really high metabolism, so I can eat quite a bit but gain no weight. I’m currently at 33kg (72 pounds) and about 156cm (about 5’1). I get picked on at school because of this, and I can’t find any signs of puberty.
I have slight upper lip hair, but that has been there since I was like 11 and hasn’t changed since. I also have slight hair on my legs, which isn’t that noticeable unless you pay close attention. My voice is really high, so I often get confused for a younger age and people try to mimic it.
As I just mentioned because of my height and weight and prepubescent body, I get confused for a 10 or 12 year old. It also doesn’t help that all my friends are going through (or have already gone through) puberty.
And my weight, I really don’t like it like this. Sure I’m not fat, but being this skinny is really embarrassing and I always get picked on for it. I’m not that strong either.
Is there anything I can do, or can you tell me when things will change?
Thanks.

Hi, at your age it's perfectly normal to be as you are, a lot of teens find they have a very high metabolism and find it hard to gain weight, puberty can start any time from around the age of 10 some start early with a lot of visible signs an some start late with no visible signs, if your starting to get facial hair and leg hair then you have started puberty and it's not something that happens over night, puberty can last up untill your early 20 so your friends won't have finneshed going through puberty yet.
You don't say if you have any pubic hair yet or if your penis has grown or testicles have gottengbigger or if you can ejaculate yet as these are all signs of puberty?
