hi. every child has his/her own growth rate, development, maturation. Boys mature much later. he has just entered his teens, give it time, some boys in his class might have hit the growth spurt which starts with puberty, some get the growth spurt a little late. It is a natural process, which every child will experience today, or tomorrow. i wouldn't advise to take any treatment for this. give it sometime, the growth will be as desired.
