I have a 13-year-old brother that started puberty around 11 or 12. Our father stopped at 20-21. I don't know when my father started puberty. Will my 13-year-old young brother stop growing at 20-21 too?

Does masturbation from a young age "e.g 10" trigger early puberty, therefore causing premature epiphysial closure and shortness compared to peers when hitting 18 years? Or does it have no effect on a person's height or the age which puberty starts?
