Pediatrician : Is a good start and then referral off to an endocrinologist if required. All the best.

Talk to Pediatrician: Your Pediatrician is the best source for information about puberty. Getting a yearly physical exam is very important because these are the doctor visits that focus on growth and development including pubertal stages. See your doctor now for a physical exam if more than a year has passed or schedule an appointment to discuss your concerns.

Ask away...: There are numerous people in your life that would be happy to answer any of your questions (family, doctors, school counselors). I know it seems strange, but healthy adults in your life can handle these topics. They dealt with puberty too and know it can be confusing. It really is okay to ask.
