Friend that is younger but is way ahead

[Faolan]

I have a friend who is more than half a year younger than me and yet he is over 6 inches taller than me and is way further in puberty than I am. He is always bragging. What should I say to him?

[russsh]

hey i am 14 and last in my class to get pubes and i'm small too, just get over it, you will start sometime and catch up

[Vegito]

youll catch up eventually, but untill then, dont try to compare dicks or nothing cause u might be made fun of by some dumb ass cause ur behind in puberty, but youll catch up eventually.

[Guillermo]

Just tell him that everyone is different and nobody goes through puberty at the same rate. Besides you'll catch up eventually...boys usually don't stop growing in height until they're about 19 or 20 usually (that's what my mom says). So I'm sure you'll have plenty of time

[Tactical Commando]

I'm 15.7 and I'm starting to grow some happy trail!

[MustangRacer35]

Some people start earlier/later than others. Maybe in a few years you'll be taller than him and all that. Just ignore him or maybe try to tell him that bragging now doesn't mean anything a few years from now.

[Kujiro]

To be honest there's nothing much you have to say to him.
He who laughs last, laughs best :)

Let him brag all he wants, I'm sure he will get sick of it soon.
your response is fueling his taunts.

*laughs*

[judahtics]

nothing. who cares that he's ahead. someone will always be further along. at least you can go to him if you have questions later on about what's happening to you, because he has experienced it.

[GryffindorSeeker]

There's always this options, have a little fun with it! Tell him you rather be behind now cause he'll be bald when he graduates! While obviously that isn't true, it should get him off your case for a while :) don't make it seem like it bothers you, and who knows, you could end up bigger than him when it's all said and done!

[Fourth Dimension]

we all grow at different rates dont worry so much about it

[Dimitri]

Nothing really. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

[Unlucky_Leprechaun]

Truthfully, nothing..just try not to get into a conversation about it, or ignore him the best you can. It is all about genes and who knows he may end up always 6 inches taller (or more)than you or you can start, catch up and pass him...time will tell. Just be who you are, that's all you can ask yourself !

[audiophile5]

If he really is your friend, he will understand you and u won't have to tell him anything...

[collapsing_rain]

you will grow faster soon!its a matter of time ;)

[zekeboy]

ye im shortest in my class it doesnt matter

[Trevor98]

Bragging is such a turnoff. Let him make a fool of himself. Decent people are turned away by childish behavior.

[Elmo101]

Everyone grows at their own rate. He may just be an early bloomer. Think nothing of it, because, odd are, you'll both "even out" eventually. Just tell him it's nothing to brag about... He'll shut up eventually!

[gmath65]

What a jerk, hes obviously uninformed... don't let it bother you to much, and don't give him a reaction when he says anything.

its all with hereditary and gentic and the way puberty hits you, its different in evry one
