I'm just making this post to notify everyone that yes, you can finish growing in puberty at 13. I started puberty at age 12 about, and I had my growth spurt at age 12.5. I started shaving then too. I grew to 5'6" by the time I was 13. I'm 16 now, and I'm a mere 5'7" which I grew to when I was 14. I am 16 now and haven't grown. I was tanner stage 4.5 at 14, and now I am all the way at 5. I went through puberty very rapidly and now it's over. I just wanted to tell you that it can end quickly. Most of the people who i was taller than all my life are about the same height as me (and still growing) or a bit taller than me. My parents are 5'11 and 5'8". I am even shorter than my mom. Some people don't stop growing until they are 21, others finish before others even start. There is much variety when it comes to the timing of puberty I guess.

I'm no doctor, but I think you still have opportunities to grow. Men typically don't stop growing until their low 20s. I feel you, though. I'm almost certain I haven't grown since I was 14, and I'm 16 now. I used to be taller than most of my friends in middle school, now they're all just about my height or taller.

I only got my growth spurts when I was 16. As said above you don't stop puberty until mid 20's. You're probably going to grow a bit more

Ya you could have "a second growth spurt" or just naturally grow (even if it's just like only a quarter of an inch). But you're right, some people do stop early like around 15 or 16 and those that do typically start puberty early. You won't know till your in your 20s likely.

I agree with Everlong. I basically stopped at 16 but there is still a possibility I may grow yet. Usually boys get as tall or taller than there dad's. I have serious doubts that you are through growing.

sometimes early stop of growth spurt indicates some problem in your hormone level or bone epiphyseal plate... maybe you should try to go to endocrinologist
