I am a 17 year old male, but concernedabout my body size, too small, rather thantoo large. I weigh 48kg/95lbs now 5″6(which is small but not greatly underaverage as other statistics), and my waistsize is 28 inches, and my chest size isabout the same as an average 12-13 yearold. There appears to be some muscledevelopment but my arms are extremelythin, and a man’s hand could probably forma ring around my arm near the shoulder(although not my hand). I am well belowaverage in average body strength althoughfitness is about average. My main concernis my weight and overall thinness andwhether this may have more seriousimplications in the future. I eatnormally (in fact more than most people)and my diet consists of less fatty and”junk” foods than the average diet.
I am unsure whether the factor of latepubertal development has affected me,since I only started significantdevelopment at 15, although from thendeveloped relatively rapidly, and haveundergone most of the major changes. Youmay say that it may merely be variation ofsize, but after several friends’ concernsover my small size and no other similarlyaged male of my size, I wonder if it is aproblem, or simply late development.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Underdeveloped Body - http://www.figirl.com, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
