[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he skinny? Doesn’t eat too much junk? Back in the day, lots of kids entered puberty in late teens. Everyone is so fat and overfed now, kids enter puberty early.  But it’s not “normal”. [/quote]

He is very skinny, all my kids are. They are all very active. You can see his ribs but he eats well. We’re not a junk food family. When most of his peers started having big growth spits around 11, 12, and 13 he hasn’t. He has always been small for his age but now his peers have short way past him. We have a pool and several of his friends come over to swim. Several already have armpit hair and hairy legs, some have faint little mustache. He is still as hairless and genitalia sized as my other boys. [/quote]

OP- I think you need to talk with a specialist. I have a fifteen year old son (and he's on ADHD medication)- he's almost 6 ft. tall, his voice has changed, he has body hair, and I assume everything else is in order since I am instructed to "never, ever enter his room without knocking."  In 7th and most of 8th grade, there seemed to be a wide range of "normal" as far as I can tell, but now at 15-16, my son and his friends are starting to look more like young men, instead of older boys.
