A member asked:

Can you tell me when does your growth spurt start when youre a teenager?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Pre-pubertal growth spurt can start as early as 9-10, with pubertal growth spurt following by about a year, and growth continuing even after pubertal growth spurt ends. For some children late onset puberty is not uncommon. Every child is different, and their hormonal clock is usually genetically inherited.
