Height hello I am male, 15 years and 10 months old. My height is 177 cm and weight is 80 kg. Last time I went to the doctor and he told me that I won't grow anymore due to the reason I start developing little facial hair (sideburns, moustache and under my chin) which I need to shave once a week and I seem more like an adult. My dad is 190 cm (6 ft. 3 inch) and mom is 170 cm (5 ft. 7 inch). My dad had a growth spurt at the age of 16-17 and he was as tall as me at my age. In the last tree years i've always grown 4-5 cm each year so would you say I still have the chance to get one more growth spurt or do you think not. Thank you.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Generally everyone grows in terms of height up to the age of 18 to 19 years. At the end of 19 years growing ends of bones freeze and height growth invariably stops. So it is possible that you may still have some more inches to grow.. There is usually a sudden spurt some times. I hope I have answered your question. Thanks.
