Hm...REALLY late bloomer? ?

Question

im 18, male 5'4, 109 pounds...I haven't aged a bit since around the 8th grade. That's how young I look, I can still wear the pants/shirts if I wanted to...I still look the same 4-5 years later. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor about it. I just look way to young/small for my age. All the males in my family are at least 6 feet tall and a healthy weight and...big

I haven't grown a centimeter since the 8th grade...height and width wise...I've actually lost weight since then. From my peak at 115 to 109. I just recently stopped having acne and can grow a little facial hair. I have plenty of hair under the arms and in the genital areas.

I'm starting to think there is something wrong. I'm (hopefully) going to the doctors tommorow to ask him about it...I'm not sure I know how to talk to him about it really, I'm kinda self-concious in this area.

If I can't go taller i'm ok with that, I just want to look my age.

And one more question...is it possible to get the hair part of puberty but not the growing part till later?...

Answer 1

did you start smoking in the 8th grade?

it can stunt growth, but you shoulw weigh more than 109!!!

c'mon man EAT

Answer 2

109 lbs is really skinny!!!  i would recomend eating allot of protein, working out, replacing all soda with water, and i heard jumping makes ur legs taller so some people have until 21 till puberty ends so i would get on the ball!

Answer 3

wow man... all that detail really helps

1. If you have hair around your armpit areas, your growth grows less faster. My doctor told me that.

2. Facial hair also slows down growth too.

3. Maybe you arent eating properly

4. Do jumping jacks

5. Work out it'll make you look really old

Answer 4

there might.. might be something wrong with the growth plates. i know my friend got in a really bad ice hockey accident and had to get the growth plates removed from his ankle. so they had to remove the other one too so he doesnt grow un even. but yea good that your getting that checked out. good luck :D

Answer 5

There is a good chance still that You could hit a growth spurt in height and package. Calcium with magnezium, vitamine D,  and zinc would be a good suplement for You.

Don't do working out or weight body building, because you have growth plates in your joints that could get damaged, and You need those healthy when You reach a time where growth happens. Once you reach some heigth, those growth plates get consolidated into the bone structure of the normal mature joints, then you can consider some body building if You want to go in that direction.

Males grow until age 22 to 25, so you haven't run out of time. Looking younger than you are is great when we reach 25 or 30 would be a good thing later, besides, the Ladies are often attracted to a more baby face type Dude, but U still want to grow a little no doubt?

A good percentage of Dudes get the hair part first B4 physical and package growth.

Seeing the doctor will help huge to make you feel better. Just tell him how old you are, and that you would expect more growth by now. Ask then, "Is there something wrong herer"?

I'm confident for U that when U do come together, that it's going to be something really good!

Wanting the best for you Dude!

Me! :- )
