A member asked:
Can you tell me when does puberty usually end?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's variable: Depending upon sex, heredity, ethnic origin and many other factors -- but the last step is closing off the ends of the long bones which stops linear growth. That's usually by age 15-17 in girls and 16-18 in boys, but can extend much longer in some individuals.
