I’m 15 and about 5.3", weigh: 7st 5pound. Starting to get armpit hair, proper leg hair and already have little facial but much pubic. Most my friends tower me and I get picked on by others, even younger than me. It’s embarrassing and I hate it. My dearest friend is slightly taller and heavier than me and his voice is breaking. He just turned 15 and I’m older.

It also affects my school work. Not putting my hand up in class because the sound of my voice. I hate it so much. It got to the point through the summer holidays where I had to tell my mum about this. She said that a guy on T.V a couple of years ago said that a guy will start to change at the weight 7 and a half stone. I talked to her about taking Testosterone shots from the doctor but she said just rest for the week and hopefully gain a bit of weight, and ill start to notice changes soon.

I ate and ate and ate for a whole week with 12 hours sleep every night and still weigh the same. I was a flippin’ slob for the week! and nothing happened. I read about eating foods with high testosterone and fatty foods.

I then decided to look for tablets from ‘Holland and Barrett’ the health store to find growth hormone tablets and ones with testosterone in them. I went to the shop one day and only saw the weird body building ones and the shop keeper looked strange, plus I was £2 out so I couldn’t buy it anyway. I was tempted the other day to order from the site through mum’s card but thought I would ask anyway. No reply yet. Four days until school and I have done nothing about it.

I can’t find an email address to my doctor and that’s the only way of communication to me. I’m too afraid to go and speak with the doctor unless someone is there to talk to them about it. I’ve done all I can to make this happen and it all failed. I looked also on a teen health website and it said about GH deficiency (growth hormone) and showed all the things I had. It said about receiving testosterone shots as I said myself and need to show my mum to get this sorted. It said it could could take only weeks before the changes occur and that’s what I’m looking for. Have I done all I can? Do I force my mum to go to Doctor’s with me? And get treatment? That’s what I want! Give me guidelines and your thoughts please…

Is there any drug on the market, used to treat growth hormone deficiency or for body building purposes, that selectively blocks the growth hormone receptor in the brain hence causing more GHRH to be released and somatostatin to be inhibited??

i was woundering of taking a course of growth hormones to build faster muscle and to gain triple size but i was wanting to know what are the possible side effects when taking growth hormones for body building purposes? im 19 years old! answers plz

Ok my primary question is this, is HGH the same thing as steroids, like the side effects and all that negative crap?

If not then how good is it to use?

Lots of good details are welcome. i know basically nothing about this stuff except that it will help with body building if used right.
Ok i am not into any sports etc i am just looking to tone up and slim down some to boost my physique.

I dont beleive it is Law illegal if it was i would not be wanting it
Thanks brandee for the very good answer and convincing me not to try it.

I was in a thrift store today and saw this puzzle with Mr. T. He kind of has the same build as my friend, Eddie. Really natural looking.

Is this the kind of build someone could hope for if he doesn’t do drugs/powders/etc.

(Also, look at Rocky I vs. Rocky 2, when Stallone started doing HGH).

I also look at body building pics from the 1940s and all the guys look like this. Tough, but not super ripped.

I’ve done some research but havent seen anything about teens taking it

im 16 years old 5′6 150 lbs

i dont have much body fat im more built than most people my age/height and am thinking about taking it as a body building supplement.

anyone know anything about the side effects of it in teens?

Can Anabolics (for body-building) with Growth Hormones make you taller? Growth Hormones are the ones responsible for one’s height right?
