[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have armpit hair? Facial hair? A changing voice? Adam’s apple? Where he is in puberty can give some indication as to how much more growing he will do. [/quote]

OP here. Armpit hairs he's. Changing voice yes. But no facial hair yet.[/quote]

Sounds like an early developer, he is probably about done, especially considering parent heights. I have noticed a lot of boys going through puberty much earlier than what used to be the norm. My son was a later developer, but many of his friends grew earlier and were done by 14ish, at least in height. [/quote]

If he has no facial hair there's no way he's about done with puberty or his growth spurt. A quick google search most boys stop growing between the ages of 16 and 18. I think it's likely he grows at least a few more inches.[/quote]

Not really. Some guys don’t get much facial hair until their 20s (or ever) - they are long done with puberty. Hair growth is a very separate thing from bone growth. And yes, most boys stop growing around 16-18 so that is the average, meaning some will stop earlier and some will stop later. Many earlier developers are done around 14.[/quote]

But none at all? I agree few teen boys can grow a full beard, but I think at least having a moustache starting is a pretty solid indicator puberty is happening. FWIW, my son is 14, predicted to be tall, but started his growth spurt later. He has grown 5 inches this year, his voice has changed and he has facial hair on his upper lip only. He's 5'8" and 125 lbs; his growth curve says he will likely end up at 6'1"-6'2" but he's definitely not an early grower. He has a friend who is 13 who is 6'1" and 215lbs...his voice started changing when he was 10 and his growth has always been off the charts.[/quote]
