Hi, I want to know if my growing is okay, because I haven't had a growth spu!
Question: Hi, I'm 14 years old. I weight 100 lbs. I am about 5 ft 2 in. When I was born I was almost 9 lbs. Now I have no armpit hair, little pubic hair, not much leg/arm hair, and no facial hair. When will I grow because I really need to get taller cause everyone is bigger than me

u should hit ur growth spurt anytime now. dont worry...every1 grows differently. i hit my growth spurt when i was ur age and was done growing by 15 (im 6'2) and was 1 of the taller kids in my grade. now when i c a lot of my high school friends theyve kept growing and a good amount of them r taller than i m now. ur more of a late bloomer which usually means ull grow progressively throughout high school and then may even have another small growth spurt in college (my best friends dad was like 5'9 when he was a freshman in college and when he graduated he was 6'4). dont worry about it...ull eventually hit ur growth spurt
Same as what the guy said. Growth spurts are all different depending on your family genetics and you could enter one today and grow for a couple years. Or you could enter your growth spurt late and have a 9 inch summer... who knows but you will grow.
same as mikey
Hi guy.....hey, please try and not get discouraged over this.
I really don't know who "everyone" is, because the average guy gets his growth spurt around16 years old.
The summertime seems to be the time when growing is the most and fastest. The summer of your 15th year and your 16th and 17th years will be your fastest, generally. You won't get your hairy body until your testosterone kicks in really good at that time. Then everything will happen almost at once. You can look forward to your voice changing as well. Also, you may have to look forward to some pimple problems.
So watch what you wish for. Try and not hurry it along. Everyone's body works on a different clock yet in the end, you will be tall and handsome when the time is right.
A 9# baby sounds big, however, if mama ate a lot, you just had a lot of baby fat on you. Take a look at your dad and uncles, grandpas as well on both sides of your family. You should resemble the rest of your family regarding size.
Hope this helps. Eat healthy, start an exercise routine that you can live with so when your testoterone kicks in good, your muscles will already be in a strengthening mode and they'll grow even faster and stronger.
Good luck

I have a few things to say to you. First off, a friend of mine wanted to be a basketball player sooooo bad but he was only 5' 2" at 13, so he decided to try to be a test pilot, they have to be small to fit into the planes, well when he was 19 he shot up from 5'5" to 6'3". His dream of being a test pilot was dashed and it was too late to be a pro ball player, so he became a dentist. As for the hair dilemma you seem to have, enjoy it, I am fifty and have very little body hair and I think it is a good thing, I think that really hairy people are gross. Not everyone feels this way but many do. Enjoy what you do have and do not worry about what you do not have. What is it they say? Accentuate the positive.
