Puberty problems?!
Question: I am 14 or 14.5 because I will be 15 this June,whooooooooooo! Anyway, I am a young adolescent and I just got my pubic hair when I was 14.5 and I am growing a slight moustache. I even got kinda taller and all my relatives tell me that, and my foster mother.
I haven't grown much taller because I am 5'2 which is short. I haven't even grown arm pit hair and my big sister had her pit hair when she was like.......12.
My sisters are still taller than me?! i should be taller than them now, right?! My dad and mom and everyone says that because girls develop first, then boys, so why am I not taller than them yet. Will I get taller!?
Please help me and answer these question, please do not answer with a short answer, please be a little long or medium, I'm just a young teen trying to know what the heck is going on?!

Girls do start puberty sooner than guys; that's why they're always (or tend to be) taller at your age.
You're kind of a 'late bloomer'. Most guys now start puberty around 12. Yours by comparison seems to have come on a little later.
You just have to be patient. For some, all of the secondary sexual traits come on all at once. For others, it's a slow process. Growth spurts will come, but sometimes it's not an immediate thing. What height are your parents? And uncles? That should give you some idea of what you're going to potentially be.
Bottom line: just be patient. I know at your age it's tough to be 'different'; i.e., shorter, taller, no facial hair, lots of facial hair, etc than everyone else. But, the onset of these traits is different for everyone. You're a unique YOU. So just be the best YOU you can be. And enjoy puberty! It's a fun ride.
Girls tend to reach puberty at a younger age than boys. You will catch up and most likely pass them. Just give nature time to do the job.
People grow at different rates. don't worry. Boys always seem to grow overnight and especially around age 16
Girls go through puberty earlier than boys, boys keep growing until their early 20's. Don't compare yourself to anybody else because we are all individuals and become adults at our own rate. Boys also mature emotionally later than girls, most guys are not ready for marriage or committment until they hit 30.
The later you start puberty the taller you end up, so please dint worry you will get there and end up taller than your sisters. just be patient and wait it out. In the mean time enjoy what you have.

Your development is late, so see also http://www.fpnotebook.com/Endo/Sex/Pbrtl...
Sounds like you are in Tanner Stage 2, and peak growth hits in 3.
Females do mature sexually faster than males so do not let that worry you.
I see the term "foster mother"; if the 'sisters' are not your biological sisters it makes no sense to compare your height with them. Even if they are, even siblings can have significant differences; it's all how the genetic throw of the dice comes out.
yes this is normal my brother didnt develop all through until he was 15 or 16 its normal for you!!!! Don't panic
female hormones coz their bones to stop growing taller earlier than male hormones, generally yes, males are taller, but still it is written in your genes how tall you will get, so don't rush it, you reach you final length about age 20 -22 ^_^
you still have 5 years to grow taller ^_^
