I feel as though I'm not going through much of puberty?

[ihatemylife1]

I am growing taller and my privates work but besides that nothing. I'm 5'11" but no facial hair no voice yet or anything. I am tall and I guess fertile but I just don't have any other symptoms and my 16th b-day is coming soon.

Not everyone is on a set schedule for puberty, I went through it at 12, a friend of mine just recently went through it at 14. Your normal, no worries

Everyone goes through puberty at different times. We don't all start at the same age and then that's the end. It will happen for you.

I know I guess. But I'll be 16 soon. I mean what happens when I'm 18 and I'm at the same point? If that were to happen?

If that were to happen, you could go to the doctor and they would decide if they need to do something.

Myss is right. If you haven't reached puberty by the age of 18, there is something wrong. If you are truly concerned about it now, also talk to your doctor.

I have reached puberty just not done as much as my peer it seems

[Harmony♥]

Yes, we understand this. You can't expect to be done with puberty when everyone else is done with puberty, especially when you either started before or after they did. We are saying that if you haven't fully reached the end of puberty, that is when you are to contact a doctor.

Everyone is different. I started puberty at age 9, when other friends of mine didn't start until they were 11 or 12, or even into their early teens. Everyone isn't going to start puberty at the same time, and girls often go through puberty way before a boy does.
