A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not. He also has moms genes. Sa long as he grows 2-3 "/yr he will grow more/when he slows to 1"/yr he is near the end. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can identify growth plates. If open, more growth is expected, if closed, growth has stopped.
