I was kind of like this when I was your age.. for me it was made worse by my anorexia.. i didn't have enough body fat to produce sufficient estrogen so my breasts and hips didn't develop and i had excess body hair.. plz don't lose hope.. I fleshed out a bit when I turned 30 and now at 40 i look pretty good!
...not super curvy, but curvy enough and womanly.. so sometimes it takes time for your body to find it's groove (not to brag, ok, but my bf is a 25 yr old model/soccer player who says i have a beautiful body and i don't look my age.. developing late has advantages!! keep your chin up, girl)
it does sound like you might have too many androgens... maybe you could try saw palmetto might help by blocking some of them.
I'd also really like to encourage you to go to a gyno and having them run some tests.
You should look into PCOS and see if that's an issue.
In my experience, just loading up on estrogenic substances doesn't really help in situations like yours... and can make it worse if it causes your body to just completely down regulates it's own estrogen production --
Your problem may be that you are producing normal amounts of everything but your receptors are immune to the hormones.. you really need more information!!!
Please go see a specialist if at all possible and keep us posted!!!
