Q: delayed puberty?

Hello, I'm 20 years old and this is my first post....i wanted to know what you guys think about my condition, which i think is some weird form of delayed puberty...
i thought i was an early bloomer because i got pubic hair and a lowered voice at around age 11, but i wasnt able to jack off until i was 18...and even at 20 years old, i'm only 5 foot 3.
i also notice that when i was 19 i started to jack off a lot...kind of like a 13 year old.
another thing is that i feel depressed and rage much more than when i was a teenager...

i'm wondering this: as a 20 year old do you think i'm still growing and going through puberty?

Genetics plays a role in ones height. Are your parents tall or small? You may grow a little bit more. Time will tell.

Hey, everybody is different. If you are going through your phase now, then that's that.

Basically it's nothing to worry about.

You still might grow a little, I grew up a little after 20 (but not really significantly, maybe 2cm)

Might be a case of what is called a "Late Bloomer".
Now the depressed and rage could be a factor as well.
Have you seen a doctor about your depression? Go talk with one and see what might be up.
Good Luck.

Same Here

Pretty much the same exact thing happend to me. I got hair at like 13 but only in my pubic region. No facial or armpit. it was like that forever. Seriously till i was like 17 almost 18. Now im 20 and its all coming along like it should have when i was 13. I grew taller too. My voice even got a little deeper. It varies sometimes quite a bit. i knew one kid in 8th grade who had a full beard and half a head of grey hair, No joke.
