The answer
This is a very common question. Unfortunately, despite all the ads and supplements you may see on-line to increase the size of your penis it is not possible. It is important to realize that penis growth continues throughout puberty. Most boys continue to grow until the age range of 18 to 21, therefore depending on how old you are, you may not be done growing.
In fact, [Young Men's Health explains, the average adult penis size is between 5 and 6 inches when fully erect. In addition, penis size tends to be inherited from your parents like your height, eye color, and hair color. It is best to try not to compare yourself to others around you. Everyone grows at different rates and different times.
If you still have serious concerns, it would be best to talk to your doctor, parents or another trusted adult. If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
