Unhappy Underdeveloped 17 year old?

I'm 17, 2 months away from being 18. I feel like i'm under-developed. Almost every guy i know, even freshman in my school, have body hair. I barely have any armpit hair, barely any facial hair except on my chin and moustache, and i mean barely any. I really don't have stomach hair and all around i'm just not hairy. I don't think it's genes because i'm half italian, 25% puertoriccan and then the rest is like yugoslavian or irish or hungarian or something like that. My dads family is hairy and developed and so is my moms. I've always been a little overweight. I'm 5'11 and i weigh 230 but i'm on a diet and trying to lose weight. My penis is only 5.5 inches long, and yeah i know that's the "average" but it's skinny too and that's not average. This sounds gay, but i've seen some of my friends' penises and balls and they're all bigger than mine. Even some of my friends who are 15.... My balls are really tiny too compared to everyone elses. I don't ejac alot, maybe as much as the size of a quarter on a good day. I've been on and off the medication humira for the past year and a half and i have psoriasis and arthritis. Can someone please help me? Because it's driving me insane.

Two questions for you.
One, are you thinking that the use of humira is tied to the physical symptoms apart from arthritis?
Some may be related and others not, right? Humira has been cited as being related to some skin problems, right?
Second question. Can you talk with your parents about the personal questions you raise regarding your physical development? If not have you spoken with a counselor at school? Or would you like a reference to speak with someone with a lot of experience with youngsters who have questions regarding their developement

Re: Underdeveloped 17 year old?

biscOts,

It is not unusual for some men to continue to develop until they are up to 25 years of age. Everyone develops at a different rate, and comparing yourself to others may not be a true guide to where you should be.

I also wonder if you have mentioned this to your parents? A good physical would likely answer your questions about your stage of development, as well as give you the opportunity to ask your doctor about the possible effects of the medications role in your growth, if there is one. This is a good time to establish a baseline for your future health records.

There is nothing you should be embarrassed about, your questions are very normal and we hear them all the time here. Please ask you parents for a good physical and enjoy your summer!

Among adults we often say that very often your best friends are the last to know your thoughts. Do talk with your folks, Biscot, and let's hear what they say to you and you to them!!

Re: Underdeveloped 17 year old?

Yes, talk to your Dad and Yes make a doctors appointment for a full physical and ask your doctor these questions and conserns and if the Meds or your weitht play a roll in your belief of underdevelopment.
