As said in the title, I'm nearly 16 and I haven't had many changes in my body. I'm the smallest in my group, and I hate taking part in PE or even just wearing shorts etc because I lack in hair on my legs and in my armpits. Also my voice sounds the same as it did when I was 11, and I'm only around 5'4". I hate it so much. I have a few pubic hairs around my penis but I hate the fact that I look like a 10 year old compared to my friends. I can't grow any kind of facial hair either, and I just feel so bad about my body. I feel so bad that I just lack so much confidence to talk to people just because I feel like they'll judge my body, and I'm extremely skinny and I hate it.
I don't want to just be told "don't worry it'll happen soon". I want to know whether there is anything I can do to speed up this growth or to make my body bigger, or whether I am genuinely stuck like this until it happens? I appreciate any help given. Thank you.

Delayed puberty is very frustrating and embarrassing at times especially when your friends and many of your classmates are developing normally.
The best answer you will get is from your doctor based on tests and an examination your doctor can determine if there is any need to attempt to change the rate you are developing at.
I know it won't help any but I was in the same position at your age and even with a late start to puberty gradually things do change.
Seeing your doctor will give you the answers you are looking for and you will know if it is simply delayed puberty or if there is a medical reason causing the delay in your development.
