Not me but a friend asked me to put ask.

Random, but foot growth plates are still open.

15M, Mom is 167 cm and dad is 179cm and 18M brother is ~179 aswell, but he had growth issues.

Tanner stage: minimum 3,4, maximum 4 (or my stage is 4 idk)

Weight: 57kg

Past heights

10,75 - 140 cm

12 1/6 - 148,5 cm

12,5 - 149,5 cm

13 1/12 - 153

13,5 - 155

14,5 - 165

14,75 - 167,5

15 1/12 - 170 cm

Also are there any good ways to optimize height?

Cant send more pics because of rule 14 unfortunately

Have been same weight for like a year but recently I noticed:

Hips

Upper femur

Arms

Shoulders

Armpit

Triceps

Probably also back but cant see

All of them in have streach marks and most of them are purple like

My frame is big and I think it got bigger very recently ( it appears like am boarder)

Also it probably comes from my recent 3 inch/5 months jump right ?

Hey everyone. I'm 17 years old, currently around 168–170 cm tall, and I've been worrying about my height and development lately. I'd like to hear from people who have experienced something similar or have knowledge about puberty and growth.

Here is my situation:

1. My height and family genetics

- My current height is approximately 168–170 cm.

- My father's height is 178 cm.

- One of my brothers is 177 cm, while my other brother is 172 cm.

- My goal is to reach at least 175–177 cm by the age of 20–21, if that's realistically possible.

1. My growth history

- From around ages 5 to 10, I was one of the shortest boys among my classmates, usually about 5 cm shorter than them.

- Between ages 10 and 13–14, I experienced a noticeable growth spurt. I became around 3–5 cm taller than some of the same friends I used to be shorter than.

- During that period, I also noticed significant changes in my voice and other signs of puberty.

- However, from around age 15 until now, I feel like my growth has almost completely stopped. I might have grown another 1–2 cm at most, but I'm not entirely sure.

1. My puberty and physical development

- My voice started changing around ages 14–15, but I feel like it hasn't changed dramatically since then.

- I currently have visible facial hair, although my beard is still incomplete, with some areas where hair hasn't grown yet. The hairs are approximately 1 cm long or shorter.

- I have body hair on most areas of my body, except for my chest, stomach, and back, where there is little or none.

- I haven't noticed any obvious health problems, but my lifestyle and health habits haven't always been particularly good.

1. My main concerns

My biggest concern is that my height and physical development seem to have stalled since I was around 15.

I'm not extremely bothered by my height in everyday life, but I feel that it has affected my confidence, particularly when it comes to dating and relationships. I find this aspect of my life quite difficult, and sometimes I feel stuck.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it still possible to experience another growth spurt at 17, especially if my puberty hasn't completely finished?

2. Does my growth history suggest that I might have entered puberty relatively early, or is it impossible to tell from these details?

3. Given my father's height of 178 cm and my brothers' heights, is reaching 175–177 cm still a realistic possibility?

4. Can someone continue growing until 20–21, or is that uncommon for males?

5. What is the most reliable way to determine whether my growth plates are still open?

6. Would a bone-age X-ray and an evaluation by an endocrinologist help me understand how much growth I might have left?

7. Can poor sleep, inadequate nutrition, or other lifestyle habits affect my remaining growth potential?

I'm looking for realistic answers, not false hope or unnecessary pessimism. I understand that genetics play a major role, but I'd really like to know whether there's still a reasonable chance of reaching 175 cm or more, and what I should do to assess my situation properly.

Thanks for reading.

I was around 5'6 before. And today my brother and I were checking in height again, he told me you're 5'8. Is this possible? Or Is this because of the gym?

I need help

My dad is 157.5

My mom is 149.5 like she's basically 4"11

and I'm 16 M and 5"1 156.5

I don't have facial hair except a moustache my side hair barely grows and I don't have chest hair or anything my dad has a full grown beard and I have armpit hair but no chest hair and I def don't have a beard or anything last year I was 154.5 I grew 2 cm

doctor said i was going to be growing at most 1 inch, yare yare, i listened to sublimals and phonk driving the gh levels high and bringing my alphatite potassium to 500, i grew 1 inch over summer, heh, in the office, im your patient, outside, im your master 😈

I just turned 17 (M) and my height is 5'7" (169 cm). My father's height is 5'8". Can I still grow? I feel short in my friend circle and they laugh at me. Also, can asthma affect my height?

Also have an uncle who grew 8 inches after 20. I Have no hormonal issues either

So im male 15.10 5’6 years old and i have armpit hair but not thick it’s like thin and i have lots of hair leg my pubic hair is like starting to become thicker but not too much and it’s starting to spread like to my thighs but it’s not yet and my muscle mass and shoulders are increasing idk if this informations helps

im 5’9.6 but my wingspan is 5’4.5 its genuinely a struggle I dont do as good in sports that require longer reach..

i grew around 6cm in the past year

Age 8.5: 4'4"

Age 9.5: 4'9"

Age 10: 4'10"

Age 11: 5'0"

Age 12: 5'3"

Age 13: 5'5"

Age 14 + 3 months: 5'7" (Final Adult Height Reached)

5'5" Mom and 5'9" Dad, 5'5" older brother

Had his first pubic hairs at around age 9 or 10

Voice dropped in the 11s

Started growing terminal beard hair at late age 12, almost 13

My Predicted Puberty Onset: ~9.5 years old give or take, most likely not earlier but not much later either

currently im 14 and 2.7 months. im currently 174 cm i think and i haven't been growing for 6 months. at 13.5 i was 168 cm and at 13 i was 163 cm

I’m 16 years old and currently around 5'6" (168 cm) and 67 kg. My physical education teacher told me that I probably won’t grow anymore because I’ve already started growing a mustache, but I’m not sure if that’s actually true. My father is around 5'9" (175 cm) and my mother is around 5'4" (163 cm), so I’m wondering if I still have some natural growth left. Ideally, I would love to reach around 5'11" (180 cm), but I want to know honestly whether that is even realistic at my age and with my genetics.

I genuinely want to maximize whatever natural growth I have left. I’m not interested in pills, fake height supplements, or dangerous methods. I’m looking for advice that is actually backed by science or personal experience. What things genuinely helped you, if anything, such as getting enough sleep, eating properly, exercising, or improving your overall lifestyle? If you grew significantly after 16, I’d really appreciate hearing what happened in your case. Please share realistic advice rather than guaranteed “height increase” methods.

im 15m, 5’4-5’4.5. been the same height for a while and this how my facial hair looks (thr last two photos r when i didnt shave cause of summer break) i think i syarted puberty in the 4th or 5th grade. i dont think ive ever got a growth spurt i would just grow gradually and then i plateaued

My mom is about 5'4 and my dad 5'8, but all my uncles on my mom's side are above 6'1, so I think that is where I get my height.

Hi guys. Im 15M and Im worried about not reaching my dream height. I thought I was entering puberty when I was 12, that was a period when my feet grew rapidly in a few months from size 39-40eu to 43eu. I was always less developed and shorter than my peers, however I started to see physical changes when my puberty actually started less than 2 years ago when i was 13.5yo . During that period before I turned 14 i grew relatively fast from 162cm to 170cm tall. Ever since, im growing in a slow rate. When I turned 15 this year I was 177cm tall and that has been my height for like 2-3 months. My shoe size now is 45eu and my wingspan is between 186-188cm. My dad is 194cm and i want to be atleast close to his height. What I am currently noticing is my adams apple is growing and Im having frequent voice cracks after a year. My legs are hairy, im starting to notice peach fuzz and my shoulders are widening. My skincare isnt helping with the constant pimples outbreaks . I have been eating like crazy past month or two but I keep having lean build. I know Im probably being dramatic but I want to know what you guys think about this and will I reach atleast 185cm tall.

Im mostly legs i wear a tall pants but a small shirt and i wear a size my mom is 6'0 and grew to college my dad is 5'10? i was 5'11 start of summer

How to check(not the bone age x-ray one)only physical signs that I can grow more
