Did I stop growing?

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
You are still in your early teens and probably have not stopped growing. Of course, it depends on when you went into puberty, but if you are like the majority of young men your age you will continue to grow through your teens.
We cannot predict your height but give you common patterns.
The doctor who has taken care of you probably is the best one to give you more accurate information.
My son did not start out growing very fast, but slow and steady. He even continued to grow once he started college. He is now 6’4” or 6’5”.
His father is 6’ and I’m 5’10”. I believe he got his height from my father.

I m 6'3 athletic , 17 yo i have 4 months to turn to 18 , i just want to know if my body still growing

And i have short parent but me and my young brother are tall with difference age 2 years he s 6 '1

Im a 15 year old male, and I am 5'7 ive been this height for a couple months now, but when It was 2022 summer while I was 13 i was 5'6-5'5. My dad is 5'8 and my mom is 5'2, but I dont know if thats the issue since my cousins are 6ft+ and their dad is 5'6 and their mom is 5'3, and my other cousins are atleast 4+ inches taller than their dads (male cousins). I've only grown about an inch or maybe less since 2023, and I am really worried if I stopped growing, if anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

I also forgot to mention, that my voice started to deepen 13 years old as well so that was 2022. but currently at 2024 its not even that deep at all, if that helped at all, and I started growing a strand or two of chin hair at 15 (i turned 15 2 days ago), if that can help anyone know the place of puberty that I currently am since I dont know.

It's entirely normal for individuals to experience growth spurts at different times during adolescence. Keep in mind that growth rates can vary widely, and it's not uncommon for growth to occur in spurts rather than at a consistent pace.

Factors like genetics, nutrition, and overall health can influence your growth. Since your cousins have experienced significant growth, it's possible that you might still have growth ahead of you.

The onset of puberty varies for everyone, and the changes rent a car you're experiencing, such as deepening of the voice and the appearance of facial hair, indicate that you're progressing through puberty. The growth plates in the bones typically close in the late teens to early twenties, signaling the end of the growth period.

If you have concerns about your growth or development, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide a more personalized assessment, considering your family history, overall health, and any other relevant factors. Keep in mind that individuals grow and develop at their own pace, and there's a wide range of normal variation.

Your concern is a fairly common one.
Since puberty doesn’t start at the same age for everyone, it’s difficult to compare yourself to others.
It sounds as if you are in the middle of puberty- obviously a doctor can calculate this better by watching your growth pattern and findings on a physical exam.
You are not done growing- probably at least a couple of more years- some grow up to 20.
If you want more precise answers, you can ask your doctor.

Hey, im in the same situation as you, did you ever grow since 2022?

I'm a 16 year old male, I've had concerns about my height due to under-sizing in my sport. I currently stand at 5'9 1/2. My father is 6' and my mother is 5'5. No male is shorter than 6' on both sides of my parents families. I was 5' in the 6th grade. I had grown during covid from 5' to 5'9. I haven't grown since, maybe an inch and a half give or take. Younger cousins have passed me at aged 11 with significantly shorter parents. I feel as if my body is half developed. I still have tiny hands as I did when I was in the 5th grade. I have minimal body hair compared to my parents which are both naturally hairy people. Though I have been through majority of puberty since I was 12. It's been almost 4 years since I've seen any bodily change in my stature even after dieting. Not sure how accurate doctors' estimates are, but when I was born, I was estimated 6'1 to 6'3. In 2021 the doctors projected me at 6'2-6'4 by the end of my growth. I was always the biggest kids in all my classes and it's quite odd to be considered amongst average to many but short to my family. I'd like to get opinions before I see a doctor.

Hello! I am a 14-year-old female, who hit puberty early in 4th grade. I am currently 5'2 with my mother being 5'3 and my father being around 6'1-6'2, I had a big growth spurt around 3rd to 4th grade having no noticeable changes (in height) since 5th grade. I have a feeling that I've probably stopped growing, but I just wanted confirmation.
