heh i guess the name says it all. I turned 14 in march and i see all my friends around me with armpit hair and hair on the legs but i havent started cahnging at all. I'm to embarrased to ask my parent or anything. I just dont wanna start changing when im 17 years old....Is there any way to speed up the process?

Afraid to ask

I suggest hair growth formula of some type to speed up the process.Just let your hair grow when it grows.

Hey loser24, do you have any pubic hair or other puberty changes yet, and when did they happen? If you don't, it just means you'll be a little later in puberty than average. It's possible to speed that up with hormone shots, but doctors won't even consider that until 16, because it's more than likely it will happen naturally soon enough.If you do have pubic hair but it was recent, you're just a little later with puberty than average, and the rest of the changes will happen in due course. If other signs of puberty are average for your age, it's probably just that you don't have very hairy genes. Some families are very hairy, and they develop hair early and get a lot; while other families are low-hair, and hair is sparse and late.I know it's very difficult to be different, but it's also an opportunity to learn to be yourself instead of being the same as everyone else.

I have no hair at all, i guess im just a "late bloomer".
-
Yes, it sounds like you are. That can be genetic too - one or both of your parents may also have been late bloomers.Welcome to AfraidToAsk, BTW!

Some just develop later. Of course the doctor could give you some male testosterone and speed up the development but I would seriously question the integrity of one that did. The long term effects might be a lot worse than letting nature take its course. The next door neigbors son of my parents is 17 and just now developing. I heard that he was upset as well. Be patient!

Some people hate hair and wind up shaving it anyway

In reply to: I just dont wanna start changing when im 17 years old i know dude.. i was all happy about growing. grew 2 inches and doubled my shoe size.. lol i was enjoying my growth spert and but then this lady came by to pay mom and she asked me if i was going into hight school.. wtf she though i was like 14 or somthing... i'm 17. but really dude when i was 14 i still looked 12. At least now i'm not smaller than the girls. i been told that late bloomers get tall (or somethign liek that) my chances of getting tall or.. i dk. good i guess. my dad is 6 and Ryan is a little taller than him. BUT my mom is tiny. i take after her and my dad isn;t Ry's dad ..so yeah i dk. i just want to get taller!!!

Dont be in such a rush for body hair, alot of girls like the younger clean cut look.

Everyone above is completely right Loser24. I personally didn't go through (full) puberty until now. I've had extra late growth spurts everywhere. my package, my legs are killing me(i have grown 2 inches in height at 20), my shoulders are getting broader =p and I'm getting chest hair(which i don't want..). xD Hair is NOT a blessing when you are dating the weirdy im dating =p she hates it unless it a stubbled chin or on the scalp! She shares the opinion with many women. So where it might be a definition of manly-hood, hair isn't all that great(specially for athletes! dunno if you are one.) but i think i'm rambling now..

Dude, take it from someone who's almost been there. I was probably around your age when I started to grow pubic hair and not very tall. Now I just turned 18 and I am 6' tall full pubic hair, underarm hair, leg hair, and am starting to grow a little bit of facial hair, especially down past the sideburns and on the upper lip.
