[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our doctor said most boys will reach their adult height by age 16-18 but some will continue to grow even into their early 20s. So I think it's way too soon for you to know.[/quote]

My 6'1" spouse had a major growth spurt at 19-20. Relatively short all through HS, and then grew a bunch in college.  [/quote]

This is our family.  My older one had his biggest growth spurt right before turning 16.  He’s still growing slowly at 17.  His feet had a big jump from 10 to 12 from Freshmen year.

My 14-year old Freshmen (15 this April) hasn’t had a growth spurt yet nor has his voice changed.  He just outgrew me at 5’5” so he’s probably 5’6” but so skinny he doesn’t look that big.

My husband and I are dead average height (5’5” and 5’10”), but both are the shortest on both sides of our families for our genders.  All the women are 5’8” and men over 6 feet.  We both grew late and the men all grow in college.  My brother was 5’10” when he left high school and 6’2” when he left college.  I grew an inch from 5’4” to 5’5” in college. My sister is 5’8”.

No idea.  Everyone is different. But my older one seemed to stop after big spurt but is recently growing again.  [/quote]
