Why is puberty happening so late?

Asked by Mtl_zack (6778points) February 5th, 2009

I’m turning 19 in 23 days. I’ve never been a hairy guy, until now. I’m starting to grow a beard and chest hair, but only in the last week. My armpits have been hairy for less than 3 months, and my legs have been hairy for about 6 months. I’ve been extremely moody in the last month, and I’m having acne problems, despite the use of Accutane.

Why s puberty starting only when I’m turning 19? Usually it’s 13 or 14. Why am I so slow?
