Am I starting a growth spurt?!
Question: Am I starting a growth spurt?
At the moment I am 15, 5 ft 7, shave occasionally and have quite a lot of pubic hair and leg hair, but a bit of armpit hair and arm hair. I have big feet and hands, too big for my size. Since September I have grown 2 inches. My Adam's apple has grown quite a bit in the last few months and my voice is quite deep.
Anyone know if I am?

When a boy starts puberty he will begin to grow taller at a faster rate. However, he won't be growing at his fastest until quite late in the process. Girls, however, grow at their fastest early in puberty. That's why girls in early adolescence often tower above boys of the same age.
From the details you give you're quite well developed in puberty and are probably growing quickly now. Many boys who are growing at their fastest would have a deepening voice, a more prominent Adam's Apple and lots of pubic hair. You also say that you're beginning to get hair under your arms. That also often appears at about the same time that a boy is growing at his fastest. Also, the fact that your hands and feet seem out of proportion to the rest of your body means it's much more likely you've still got quite a bit of growth left in you because the first structures to reach their adult size during puberty are the hands and feet. It is common for boys and girls who are growing quickly to seem, for a while, poorly proportioned.
Many 15 year old boys would be growing quickly. You say yourself that you've grown 2 inches since September so, yes, all the signs are that you're in a growth spurt now. Hope this helps!
Yep, probably.
You grow 5" and a bit in your Final spurt
so you're probably at beginning of it.
When you're 17 your shoulders will widen.
