@charlieccc15. 14 is probably still a little young to worry about delayed / absent puberty UNLESS you have no sense of smell and / or you had un-desecended testicles at birth. You still have plenty of time to grow, the growth spurt happens later in puberty. If you reach 15 and have had no growth / development of the genitals then I think you should seek medical advice on the possibility of delayed puberty. At 14 you are still at the normal age, just a later starter than some others.

I wasn't treated until I was 22. It's had a massive affect of my confidence and social life but it's getting better, now I just have one injection every three months.

The key here is early diagnosis, the earlier the better in our opinions. :)
