A member asked:
Is puberty different for individual people or are they expected to follow statistics?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
As with all things in medicine, and with people, statistics are helpful to set some guidelines and parameters in order to better see people at either end of the "normal" curves for growth, development, BP and so on. Individuals will indeed be different especially for things like puberty. Now if you are asking about yourself at age 20, you should be well through puberty!

Everyone is different and a sample of one. Statistics is a method to describe this in summary form. The mean/average is the average of say days of bleeding in thousands women. The standard deviation tells you the range in the sample. Plus or minus 2 standard deviations will tell you the range in 95% of the sample of women. It is not possible to translate this to an individual is not possible.
