Late puberty: Any advice?
in Health ·
Hey there.
I’m 18 and standing about 6'2", so height isn't really the issue—it's more about my face and body. For instance, I still don't have any body hair, not even a hint of a mustache. It’s honestly pretty awkward to admit this here, but I haven't really hit that full physical development stage yet, and it’s absolutely wrecking my confidence. I tried hitting the gym for a solid year thinking I could jumpstart my testosterone levels, but nothing happened. My body just won't change. My weight, measurements, everything stays exactly the same, even though I feel stronger and have actually been gaining some weight week by week. Still, the idea of walking into a doctor's office and laying all this out is super uncomfortable; I barely worked up the nerve to post this, even knowing it's anonymous. Has anyone else dealt with late-onset puberty? Any advice you can toss my way?
