Question About Height? Help Please!?!


Question: I'll be 16 and a half this Christmas, I'm 5'8" or 5'9". Never really experienced a growth spurt. My younger brother (15) is taller than me, he is about 5'11, maybe 6'0". My friends also notice how he has more facial hair than me, and we both dont shave. People say my face looks younger despite my height. I have no issues with puberty or anything. Am I still growing, do men have significant growth spurts at my age? Thanks guys I'm concerned.

You will still have time to grow, it depends on genes from your parents and the amount of exercise, so i think by he time your 21, you will be about or over 6"0, im 14 and i'M 5'4" and I don't actually care what my height is.

you still have a long time to grow

everybody grows at a different rate

I dont understand what your concerned about.

The average human male will continue to grow until the age of about 20 or 21. Odds are that you will grow at least another two or three inches in height during over that time. Not everyone grows in spurts and certainly not at the same age. You may be yet to experience a growth spurt or you may continue to grow at a steady pace. Patience.
