[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be glad it’s late instead of early. My poor boy is really struggling with mood and hormones before he’s ready for it. [/quote]

I don't know if boys ever *not* struggle with mood and hormones!   :wink:

OP, my son was late to start puberty, our ped even referred us to an endocrinologist.  But your son is fortunate that he's not shorter than his peers, that was the toughest one for my son.  It's good that your son is being watched, because getting "stuck" in a Tanner stage and not progressing can be something to also be referred to an endocrinologist.

My son is almost 20 now and while he started his big growth spurt around 15 (and has reached his full adult 5' 10" height), he's still waiting for his body to fill out.  He's quite slim and narrow, where his friends broadened in high school, and have wider shoulders.  His body hair didn't really come until after high school, and he still doesn't have much, but he gets that from my side of the family.  My father and brother couldn't grow full beards if they tried.

So in other words, it's all so variable.  [/quote]
