PLEASE! If you can help me in any way i would greatly appreciate your considered opinions.
I'm 18. I have a thin frame and am 5ft 6 in height. Bit of short un' i'll grant you! I have had some mild spots but nothing like as serious as some people. My voice has slightly deepened but I do not as yet shave - I have a sort of blackish moustache but not anything noticeable...I've definitely had pubic hair growth though.
My question is - am i going to grow any more? Everyone else is taller, deeper toned and definitely more masucline than me. I'm 18 and I haven't changed much over the years and i'm getting worried! Do I have an underactive gland for testosterone? Should I see my doctor?
Helpful responses only please, how would you like it if you had this problem and I took the piss out of you?

dont worry, its all in hand,m your body is changing right now, you'll also continue to grow in height until your early twenties, dont wotty about shaving, believe you me most guys would love not to have too, if you want to speed it up, shave your moustache and facil hair with a bic yellow sensitive razor and sensitive skin gel, it will make the hair grow quicker and thicker then youll be shaving twice a week, then 3 times, then every other day, then you'll get to the point when you're going out with a girl and you leave shaving until the evening so when you take her out you're freshely shaven, dont worry about any piss taking, its all bravodo and bullshit - if your mates give you any, just you remeber - they onky got heir hair 6 months go!,
by the way, eating a diet with lots of protein will help you grow bigger muscles, red meat (beef, chicken, eggs,) it will give your body the nutrition it needs to help you look more masucline - not burgers, proper beef , ie go into a pub and ask for a sirloin steak , not mcdonalds! good luck

I can understand your distress perfectly. I too once had the same problems once upon a time.
I myslef was a late 'bloomer' - i started shaving at 16, my voice deepened at15 (it seemed to happen over night).
However you must not give up hope. Males puberty (13- 21) tends to last longer then females (12- 18)

18 is later than average but within the limit of normal variation. There's no harm in seeing a doctor to ask his advice but it's most likely that you'll go through puberty without any medical intervention sometime soon.

I say you need to discuss with the doc.
