What is wrong with my 16yo if he has little body hair and is very short?

Delay vs. Abnormal : The 16yo boy should be well into obvious pubertal changes. Some kids can have a family pattern of delayed maturity, which growth records and a bone maturity study should help define. Thease kids may finish growing in their early 20's. However, lack of any change could be a significant hormonal problem & should be assessed by your physician.
