A member asked:
My son went into puberty at the age of 13 and is now 19 years old, is it still possible for my son to grow before the age of 21. my son is 5'2, i'm 5'7, and my wife is 5'3. is 13 years old considered late and is it possible for my son to grow still?

If an x-ray of his wrist/hand shows open growth centers there is potential to grow taller. If not, he is done. Average male puberty starts at~12. If he has grown more than 2.5 inches the past year he may grow more, if less than in inch he is close to finished. Get the x-ray if concerned, without it, all is speculation/wishful thinking.
