[quote=Anonymous]OP---NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

You describe your own later development. There is your answer.

My brother grew 2 inches in college. I grew 1 inch.  My husband also recalls growing later.

I have a 19-year old (freshmen in college) and 16.5 year old (junior in HS).

Both became eclipsed by giants around MS. The younger one was on the smaller side even earlier.  My older one had been relatively on the taller side until 12.

Entered HS at 5'4".  Older one graduated at 5'11".  He is now 6'1".  Grew first semester in college after just turning 19.

Younger one has just started growing--but looks like a baby. No facial hair, rounder face, very skinny.  He is no around 5'9", and obviously a lot of growing to do still.

Both of them had xrays for sport injury around 14 (one ankle and a wrist fracture, other one foot/heel) at that time the orthopedist said their growth plates were wide open and noted they had a lot of growing left.

I was especially concerned for my younger one because he was also very skinny which made him look even younger/smaller than older brother at same age.  But, he's just now starting gain some more muscle. Voice is just starting to change and he will be 17 in April.[/quote]
