my son is 14 years old going on 15.
He hasnt shown any signs of puberty, he is
4"10 and in the 9th grade. He weights
about 90-95 lbs. He often looks pale with
blue shadows under his eyes during the
day. I wonder if hes not getting proper
nutrition which is delaying puberty. He
feels insecure about himself and has very
low self esteem. I worry about him
sometimes. He finds it hard watching all
of his friends grow and mature while he is
left behind. This is what makes him
stressed. He has no underarm hair or
facial hair and he says his penis is still
very small with no pubic hair which is
very embarresing. He hates changing in
gym because he has no underarm hair and
some peope make fun of him. Please give
me tips or advice or something!!!!

Has he been into the doctor? If so has
the doctor expressed concern over the
matter? For the time being maybe youcan
get your son to say that he waxed. Tell
his friends that is the in thing. I
really don't know I do know that I went to
school with a kid that had the same
problem but he had said that it was some
kind of disease that he had can't remember
now what that was exactly that was 15
years ago hea could have been just saying
that to cover up the fact of not matureing
like the others. My suggestion would be
to ask your doctor about it to see if they
can give you some help or advice. Sorry I
was not of any help.

My friend was like that...Very frail since
he was a baby. He never ate much and he
matured very late. But by the time he was
16 everything started going as normal.
Just a little behind schedule

I too was a late bloomer. 9th grade was
like 5'2" and 100 lbs. Soaking wet.
Didn't really "hit" till after sophmore
year. All is fine now.... Everyone is
different. Still get him checked if he's
bothered. Time will catch up

I to was a very very late bloomer. I
looked like a little blond girl when I was
a freshman. Secondly it sounds like your
worried about this and also quetion his
nutrition?
You should definetly be "making sure" that
hes getting the right nutrition
regardless. I used to kick and screem
about what I ate but I eventually got into
it twards the end of highschool....And i'm
proud I did.
