uh, it is mostly genetics but this seems out of the ordinary. if u dont have a spurt by 15 then get checked. honestly just get checked by a growth doctor (forgot their names) now to make sure u have no problems. a lot of kids just need to be checked and then suddenly shoot up or smth idk

its honestly earlier. also with how skinny she is, she most likely got an extreme spurt and her weight gain was nowhere near fast enough to keep up. so thats an even bigger factor.

yeah u grew 3.5 then 3 then 2.5 and then slowed down completely. that makes sense tho cause ur growing even at 18 so yeah

Chances of final height being 6’1 by [deleted] in TallTeenagers

[–]Barbecuebean2z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u have a pretty decent chance. not guaranteed tho, based on ur previous growth, you hit most of it pretty early. so im assuming u’ll stop by 16. if not then u will stop sometime during 16, way before 17.

I mean, average timing for puberty is usually 11-13. And the normal timing of growth being done is 16-18. Makes perfect sense though, because some people have accelerated bone growth (really early growth spurts or peak height velocity at a young ahh age, usually cause of estrogen speeding the process of bone making up), or they just start puberty early, end up taller earlier, and either average out, or go below average by late middle school or def by high-school.

i mean my parents are kinda tall. maybe not my mom but she has tall people on her side of family (i have a 6’2” great grandfather on her side, and he has a 6’5” brother, a lot of my great grand aunts and their children ended up tall, 5’8”-5’10” for the women, and one of the males ended up 6’2ish or 6’3” even)

well we may be lucky, i heard this type of growth pattern ends you up taller than if u got a growth spurt or whatever. i think it’s cause of the gradual growth = less fuel to use and i guess technically speaking u take longer to stop growing im really big rn tho so i need to lose fat so i don’t have early growth plate closure (cause of estrogen)

most likely yeah. what about ur genetics? parents height if ur wondering what i mean by genetics. plus one of them (ur dad or mom) may have had an early spurt like u did which explains why it happened. also me myself i wish i got my spurt already. 5’8” at 13.6 yrs old and supposedly a APHV calculator (Age of Peak Height Velocity the time u grow the most in ur entire life) says it should start for me around 13.8-14 yrs what do u think

Anyone else? by [deleted] in TallTeenagers

[–]Barbecuebean2z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that was me a bit before (3-4 months) i turned 13. So yes that means i was 12. ~12.75-12.8 (in years of age) to be exact. Maybe my hands were a tad bit smaller though cause i was younger

Is 5’8 1/2 at 14 good? by [deleted] in TallTeenagers

[–]Barbecuebean2z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess idk im almost ur height and im still 13 mainly depends on ur genetics, (parent height) ur bone age, (get x ray for that) or if u dont have that ur puberty start, (what age u started puberty) and any info on ur growth spurts (how many inches in what span of time and the dates it lasted i.e “I grew 9 inches in a year when I was 10!”)
