A member asked:

My son is 5'7 (13) and has grown 1 inch in the past year. i am 6 feet and his mother is 5'6. my son has facial hair and shaves every 2 weeks or else it looks like a stubble. he eats alot of homemade food (he weighs 131 pounds). is he done growing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growing an inch in the past year suggests slowing. His predicted final height based on cited parents height is 5'11.5"+/- an inch. An x-ray of his wrist/hand could be assessed for open growth centers. Open would mean more height potential/closed would mean he is done. He will likely grow more, but amount is unknown.
