I'm 18 but i look like i'm 14.... could it be because i have delayed puberty?

Possibly: The only way to figure that out would be to know if you've completed genital development. And, we often get an x-ray of the left hand to confirm where a patient is with respect to biological development. Hopefully you're just blessed with youthful genes! if so, you'll appreciate it some day when you're much older.
