[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14 seems very young for his growth plates to be closed. My son completed his growth spurt prior to 14, but has gradually grown two inches since then (he is 17 and 5'8").[/quote] It all depends on when they started puberty. If they started early, it's entirely possible for a boy to stop growing at 14. My DS was a late bloomer, as was his dad who grew till 20/21 (6'+). DS was always the shortest in his group until 16, when all his friends stopped growing, but he didn't. He's now almost the tallest of his friend group at 5'11", and still growing. Funny thing - he was at home during covid learning, and that's when he grew the most. He went back to school and people didn't recognize him. Not only did he grow, but he thinned out and he lost the baby face. They said he had the most extreme "glowup" of anyone they knew. So, it really depends on when you hit puberty.[/quote]
