How do you know if you stopped growing?

Have I finished growing? How do you know you've stopped?

  • Answer:

    At age 15 you are only halfway thru puberty. You will have about 6 more years of growth potential ahead of you with growth spurts occurring along the way. Nobody can tell you when those spurts will occur -- they have a habit of sneaking up on you when you least expect them. The 'growth' part does not necessarily mean growth in height - it could mean body hair growth, pubic hair growth, penis length growth, larger hands, feet, arms, legs, torso, facial features, facial hair, etc. Each person must wait their turn to complete development - and you are no exception. The keyword here is patience. You must learn to be patient. Everything will fall into place in due time - and not before.

sounds like you're not out of puberty yet, so maybe not. then again, you're height could be done, but your body will continue to develop

its possible you have stopped growing. You finish puberty on average around the age of 21. and 12 seems a normal age to get your first pubic hair. for asian and pacific islanders depending on their genes they may not be hairy at all its just the way we were born. if your dads really hairy chances are your going to be hairy. if your dads not hairy chances are your not going to be hairy

Males grow till they're 21. Females stop at around 13. P.S. Vegetarians grow taller than Non vegetarians. Most N. American meat have chemicals that supress hormones.

If you are a guy, you have an adam's apple. It may be small, but it is there. As far as growing taller, 5,11 sounds pretty tall for your family, but you may grow taller. On the hair, well, some guys never get more hair than you have right now. I started getting body hair at 12 and 20 years later, it is still growing in more places. Some guys grow more hair for many many years.
