[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. This thread has been very helpful and informative. [b]DH is a freshman[/b] who will be turning 15 soon. He’s barely 5’3, 100lbs with signs of puberty. He looks like a little child compared to his peers and the smallest on his JV team. It’s definitely weighing on him mentally, whereas before HS, his small size didn’t seem to faze him, despite playing multiple sports.

Information about the testosterone shots and the resource from the PP who’s a pediatrician is helpful and we will explore if that might be an option for DS at his 15-year check-up. DH, who’s 6’0” was also a very late bloomer and recalled how he struggled with confidence and kept him from going out for HS sports despite being a great athlete. He says to this day, even though he’s now above average in height, he still sees himself as the small guy in his friend group, despite having caught up to and even having surpassed many of them in height.

Oops, obviously meant [b]DS[/b]. [/quote]
