[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- my youngest turns 15 in April and has not had his major growth spurt or voice change yet.  He has hair everywhere (no facial) and other signs, but shorter than most teammates now.

His brother started his growth spurt a month or so before he turned 15.  So it was late too.  He's still growing.  Feet just became a 12, close to 6 feet now.  He was my younger one's height (maybe shorter) at 15, but since he had a thicker, stockier build it didn't seem as he was as as small.  My youngest has a super fast metabolism so he is very, very skinny and very active.  It's a challenge to get enough proteins/calories in him.

And, yes, many of my son's friends pretty much stopped growing before my kids even started their growth spurt.

I was at a U15 soccer game last night and the size differences among kids was astounding.  Some very tall, facial hair, filled out muscles--and some like my kid--baby faced, skinny and shorter. I think he's around 5'5" now--maybe slightly taller, but was one of the smallest out there.[/quote]

Oh--pps.  My kid still had baby teeth too.  I'm not even sure 14 year old has lost all of them yet.  Lost a few in the Fall.  It's all signs of normal, delayed growth.[/quote]
