All my friends are more developed. Help!

[Brightwolf]

At school all my friends are more developed than me. Why? Am I just late? I have hit puberty but I seem to be going through it slower than everybody else. It's annoying because every time I go to gym I see how their more developed then me. I'm 15 by the way.

[hockeyboy18]

nothing to worry about, your just late and you never know once you start you might pass them up.

[Jaseblader]

Maybe your younger I am

[Brightwolf]

Maybe your younger I am

What?

[Jaseblader]

For example, I am a year younger than most kids in my grades I expect to be smaller in a sense

Nope we r all the same age.

[Jaseblader]

Oh so then maybe your just a grower not a shower, which means you grow larger soft to hard while a shower grows barely soft to hard

You will catch up. Ur just a little late

You seem to just be a late bloomer, much like myself. It's not something you can really have any control over so accepting it is all that can really be done :/

Don't worry, you are completely normal. You are probably just a late bloomer and this is very common among teens. Feel free to message me... :)

I'm not as developed but not worried. My oldest brother said he was late too but he caught up.

Why would I be late if both my dad and my twin brother both started early?

That's one of the problems with genetics. Your brother has probably taken after your dad. I knew 2 brothers who looked very similar, had similar hairstyles, but one had black hair like his dad, the other was ginger like his mother. Unless you were identical twins, brothers can develop differently.

Everyone develops at a different rate.

It all just depends on your genes, it's very hard to explain but it has to do with your genotypes (which you got from your parents). I do not want to over complicate things but, it also depends on if your genotype are homozygous or heterozygous. That's pretty much telling you what traits you got from your father and mother and if the traits are dominate or not...

Ah…ok thanks.

[theDoc]

Ah…ok thanks.

- Yea even though I can't remember what your problem was in the first place. Don't worry, you'll be fine. If you have anymore questions just ask me on my wall or I could give you my email... :)

Everyone goes through puberty but no one has any control over how fast they go through it.
