Hormone imbalance...delayed growth?...?

Question

m 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.

I've been looking on the internet and i see how not eating enough can actually delay puberty...I don't eat breakfest or sometimes lunch...I just...don't have an appeitite... So if I start gorging myself with food...will I maybe grow?...I dunno...

Answer 1

Hey my voice is just now getting deeper and Im going into 10th grade. I think you should

exercise

eat alot (non-fatty food)

get lots of sleep

and dont worry about it.  

Also if youre short, it doesnt mean youre less of a guy. It seems like your body is pretty mature just a little short.  

Answer 2

if your 18 and and still going through puberty your just a late developer yes you will grow taller you won't stop growing until your at least 23 you just happen to be a late grower the average age for boys to start puberty is between 12 and 15 you must have started puberty at 16 which was very late everybody starts puberty different times
