Is this a growth spurt?!


Question: On my 13th birthday I was 4'10 1/2

On my 14th I was 5'2

On my 15th I was 5'5 1/2

Now, at 15.35 I'm slightly over 5'6

Does any of this classify as a growth spurt??? I'm very confused/ Will I have any more huge periods of growth???

If it makes a difference, I'm white, mother is 5'0, father is 6'0 and I have a shoe size of 10.

Oh yes. You grew 8 inches in just over two years. That is a growth spurt for sure. Now the question is, how much can it continue. Well, you are likely to continue to grow until about 19 or 20, but the spurt will "sputter"- slow down- a lot by then. I would say you may reach a final height of 5'10" or so (give or take an inch). You'd basically be in-between your mom and dad, although closer to your dad's height.

yup...
