[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine started at about 12 -- he grew about a foot in the first year of the covid lockdown, and like another poster noted, he's got stretch marks on his back. He's 14 now and still going. I swear some mornings I wake up and he seems even taller. He's almost 6 feet at this point.  He's getting advanced on puberty, but not all the way through it yet. He gets facial hair but it's pretty soft, and still no chest hair. He's got hair everywhere else. [/quote]

We are late growers and my 16 year old barely has facial hair.  He didn’t grow until 15 and is 5’11, orthopedist said growth plates still open.  His feet went to size 8 to size 12.5 in one year.

His brother is even farther behind with no voice change, baby face, like one underarm hair at 14.  He’s just about my height 5-4”-barely 5’5” and so stick skinny.[/quote]

Males in my family grow 1-2 inches in college.  Most of my older son’s friends that grew early stopped growing Freshmen year in high school.  You will see a lot of the “tall kids” become average or smaller.  Of course, some kids were always tall and remain that way.[/quote]
