Hi Aaron,

I'm not sure why anyone else has not responded to you post until now. It is excellent that you are concerned for your health and have tried to research this on the web to get straightforward answers. I would encourage you to share you concerns with a parent if possible, there really is no need to be embarassed. If you feel unable to do that than at least give your family doctor a call and ask if you can come in for a consultation about a concern that you have. There usually is not a charge for a consultations and the doctor or nurse practioner can talk to you about your concerns and reccomend the next step, probably lab work to test your testosterone level. It is a simple blood test. If your testosterone is low it is imperative that you get treatment. Supplemental testosterone can be given through a pill, creme, gel or patch. So it is a relatively easy fix if your testosterone level is low.
You are at a critical age for development and your body needs a normal about of testosterone to work as it should. Testosterone is needed for much more than just sexual development it is also needed for devoloping healthy bones and muscle and helps maintain energy and a healthy mood.
I would encourage you someone you can confide in. Definitely get you testosterone blood level checked. It's not a big deal to treat if it's low and you will feel much much better!

Good Luck,
