Don't worry about it. Males continue to go thru puberty until their mid-20's. My brother was 5'8" when he started college and he is now 6'1". Many guys don't get a lot of facial hair until they are in their 20's - some never. If you are really concerned, talk to your doctor at your next physical.

No problem at age 15. You might be a bit slower at first, but will catch up. Dont be concerned until age 21.
One of my high school friends did not get any pubes until age 15 and did not achieve full facial hair until age 22. He was slow, but nature caught up.
Yea he was depressed about it also.
Don't sweat it.

you do not have a problem. most males do not finish going through puberty until their late teens. and why worry about being taller than your dad you are already close in height to him and you will still probably grow a few more inches before you are done.

Relax dude I went through puberty at 15. It ussualy starts out with pubic hair in the male areas like testicals and armpits. Relax your puberty is just around the corner.

Go to see your family doctor. He can advise you properly, considering your life style, age, family history, etc...
For myself, it was at the age of 9 that it struck! I was early compared to many around myself. But, again, it is due to family health history.
Talk to your father, if you can, if not, then the doctor would advise you properly.
