What Causes Scanty Pubic Hair During Puberty?

Hi I am wondering about puberty. I got my first pubic hair when i was around twelve and a half and im now just turned 14. I have got sperm, I have started growing armpit air although only a few (not many). But my pubic hair around my penis hasnt changed a heap since I starte puberty. I have dark pubic hairs but not heaps of them like a bush. I am only 158cm tall so I am wondering if I am slightly delayed or something?
