Hello, so I posted here when I was 14 that I stopped growing and it turns out I was right! I started puberty at age 12, and I grew to 5’6” at age 13. I am bow 17.5 and am 5’8.3”. The growth in height between the time can be attributed to the lengthening of the spine that happens when your bones fuse. So yeah, I just wanted yall to know that you can stop growing at age 13. I am about 4-5 inches below my predicted height, I was growing normally up until age 13 and suddenly stopped. So yeah that’s that.

We can still have another growth spurt at our age but not as drastic as other times in our lives....just be happy in your body ... you are not "short" in the least ...you might feel that way but at your height -- i'm 5'9 so about the same....you are fine

You could still grow. What wizard told you that you positively had stopped growing?

If you care so much about knowing if you are still growing, then see a doctor who determinants your bone age stage or such.

Probably the spurt will go back again, If not, check with your doctor ASAP.
