[quote=Anonymous]My son is 16.5 now, and still doesn’t have much in the way of facial or body hair (he is very proud of his one armpit hair). He is an athlete but can’t yet put on muscle - he has that lanky childlike look rather than the manly muscled look many 16 year old athletes have. And because he doesn’t have the bulk or muscle mass he isn’t progressing in the sport as he likes. So I hear you! Boys care about this just as much as girls care about getting hips and breasts. You can tell them not to care, but they do. Puberty has been really uneven for my son, not the textbook progress through the tanner stages. His height came first, then his voice changed overnight in 9th grade, and his leg and arm hair came in the past few months. So sympathy, OP. One thing to remind him is that there are lots and lots of kids like him - “everyone” doesn’t get have a deep voice and a mustache. It can help to remind himself of that (it helps a really tiny bit)[/quote]
