When I am comparing my leg hair to my dads leg hair, he has a lot more hair on his legs than I do. When I look at my peers' leg's hair, they even have more hair than I do.

The leg hair on my calf is not hairy at all. The lower part of my calf is more hairy then the upper part of my calf. The hair on the upper part of my calf seems to not be growing at all.
When I compare leg hair to my dad and my peers, they have some hair both on the lower calf and the upper calf. I don't know if I'm having a hair growth issue or a nutrition issue.

The hair on my belly button seems to be growing slow too.

The hair on my mustache and beard may be growing too slow too. I've heard that some kids have to shave everyday if they don't want to have a mustache or beard. My mustache and beard takes about 2 weeks to grow back after I shave!

Thank you for not posting photos. You are a young teen I'm guessing (ok, how old?), and your hormones are still figuring out how to turn you into an adult.

Don't compare yourself to anyone else, especially not to a mature, fully-grown man in his 30s or 40s. Mothers do this with their little kids - "Suzy has 6 teeth now. How many does your Billy have? Oh, only 3??? What's wrong with him?" and drive each other crazy with comparisons.

Don't worry. By the time you are 21, you will have to shave every day for the rest of your life or until you are retired and won't want to bother any more.

Good grief! Stop worrying!! If this is still a problem in five years, post it. Give yourself time to grow up.

Now, let's talk about meeting girls.

Yeah I have the same problem. The face and belly that is. My legs look like a yeti's. But I hve nearly no hair on my face or belly. Just let your hormones figure it out. In the meantime take up meditation. It relaxes you.
