First, I don't think your a girl with a boys penis. Second, 13 or 14 is not that late for puberty. For example, women can get their periods between 10 and 16 and have that be considered totally "normal" - 12 is the average age for women but a little later for boys. Like women are generally done growing by 16 to 18 while men can continue growing until they're 20 or so.

For being a girl with a penis, hormones and puberty are not that simple. It is true that something could be "up", so to speak, in order to cause a later-than-average puberty, the penis size and the sensitive breast tissue (yes men have it too!). For example, there is a (highly unlikely) chance that you are, in fact, intersex and don't fit 100% into male or female (very unlikely though, just saying). More likely, you might have a hormonal problem - such as too little testosterone or too much estrogen - such things can cause things like gynecomastia (excess breast tissues in men) and delay puberty. A third more likely cause is your weight; speaking as someone who has carried excess weight for years, I can speak to how much it can affect your mood, hormones and energy, just to name a few things. I also read recently that it can make puberty happen early for women because of how fat affects hormones (could cause it to happen late too though).

I know it is embarrassing but you really should talk to your mom. You don't need to go into the details, but you can just ask to talk to a doctor about it. A doctor will be able to give you a better idea of what's up and if you should see a specialist for further information (e.g. a endocrinologist for hormonal stuff)

Hey! Welcome to TH

Puberty in guys can begin anytime from about 10 to 15 or 16. 12 or 13 happens to be about the average, but it can certainly happen earlier or later.

So, there are a couple options here:

1. Just wait for a while and see if you develop any signs of puberty.

2. If you're particularly concerned about this (which it sounds like you are), then I really do think it is important to talk with your mom and get an appointment scheduled to see a doctor. The doctor will give you a physical exam to assess your development, and might order lab tests to check your hormonal levels.

I know that the prospect of discussing this with others is probably embarrassing and scary for you. I just want to reassure you that it's perfectly normal to have questions about your body and your health, and you're doing the right thing by addressing them. There's probably nothing to be very concerned about at this point, but it's a really good idea to get everything checked out

firstly,
normally puberty hits hard once you're like 15-16.
Start working out. Increasing testerosterone can help increase the amount of body hair etc.And really, the penis and testicles will grow out when they do.
Just relax, let nature do its thing.
Wait till you're a bit older to worry. If it doesn't stop bugging you, see a doctor.
Also, end of the day, just wait till your body is ready. Some take longer than others. I really hit puberty when I was 16. Till then I was gangly, despite working out regularly. So try some excercise to lose the boobs, but beyond that there isnt much you can do.
