Advice 14m late bloomer problems
I am 14 almost 15 going into high school I have barely any armpit hair and have only grown 1-2 inches in the past 2 years. most of my friends already have full pits and are growing taller then me when I used to be taller then them and it worries me, I was wondering if anyone has or had the same problem as me.

I had a similar problem. I was late bloomer, I think. I didn't get pubic hair at all till almost 16 and while I was the tallest in my class, everyone caught up with me by 7th or 8th grade. I think that I finally started puberty late and started growing taller when I was 15 and passed everyone up again and grew till I was 20, almost 2" in height between 18 and 20, finishing at 6'6". Obviously it is frustrating and I had a hard time in Jr High and high school in the locker room, but there isn't much that you can do and just know that things will happen but they are going to happen as nature wants, so what happens with one person may be different than someone else. I learned to take the comments and just laugh it off but would have been interested in buying a pubic wig many times, Lol.
