Yeah, this will be the third time I'm going to post this but... I just need something... Anyways, so I'm the 5'6'', almost 16, Asian guy who officially entered puberty at late 11 or early 12. I was something among the lines of 5'5'' or 5'51/2'' at age 14. I'm 5'6'' and stayed this way. My other body parts grew a bit, blah blah, you all probably know.

So I got a check-up, and my Doctor was confused as I either started puberty and/or the other most of my spurts are delayed, or I may be ending puberty. She said the speculation of being Tanner 4 the latest, but was concerned for my growth anyways as my body is kind of weird.

I took the Bone Age and checked for Testosterone levels and whatnot. After a week, she just said that I'm "normal." Normal about what? Am I going to grow a bit more? Or that "normal" being that I'm ending puberty? She didn't ellaborate on those details... Now I'm getting nervous. :( Yes, I said my classmates got taller this year, but I'm one of the older people. Just recently I looked at the Juniors, and most of them never grew (most of them are 16 turning 17... turning 17 next year).

If a doctor said you're normal you shouldn't be worried. :D You may or may not grow anymore. 5'6" isn't a bad height. There really isn't anything wrong or to be worried about.

You're fine. You might grow some more (you still have some years, even if you started at 12), and you might not.
