Puberty requires adequate fat for hormone production, growth, and development. Boys typically drop to ~10-15% post-puberty due to muscle gains, but dipping too low (e.g., <12%) risks delayed puberty, hormone disruption, reduced bone density, and stalled growth.

its not because of your growth, its because when you cut at such a young age you run the risk of malnutrition and its very unsafe
