m 18, male 5'4, 109 pounds...I haven't aged a bit since around the 8th grade. That's how young I look, I can still wear the pants/shirts if I wanted to...I still look the same 4-5 years later. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor about it. I just look way to young/small for my age. All the males in my family are at least 6 feet tall and a healthy weight and...big

I haven't grown a centimeter since the 8th grade...height and width wise...I've actually lost weight since then. From my peak at 115 to 109. I just recently stopped having acne and can grow a little facial hair. I have plenty of hair under the arms and in the genital areas.

I'm starting to think there is something wrong. I'm (hopefully) going to the doctors tommorow to ask him about it...I'm not sure I know how to talk to him about it really, I'm kinda self-concious in this area.

If I can't go taller i'm ok with that, I just want to look my age.

You are probably just a late bloomer and, therefore, have nothing to worry about. You are progressing through puberty, just slowly.

Still, see what the doctor says. It would be interesting to see if he has any different opinions/advice.

Well, most likely your just a late bloomer. Your going slowly and started late. That's all.

But, like Forever A Fighter said, it might be something other than that. Asking a doctor can reveal some very bad news(but I dont think so).

You are really late bloomer, possibly, but at 18? I think you should maybe get checked out by a doctor. You should have hit puberty by the time you are 18.

I agree with Jared
If you haven't hit puberty at all, and you are 18, you should probably go see a doctor.
