yo i scored a 4 on the stage calculator and when i looked it up it said that in stage 4 u height slows down

problem is that im 15 and im only 5ft4 and im pretty sure havnt hit my growth spurt yet, although i think i might be in it considering i was 5f3 during the school year

most of my family is around 5f10 did i miss my gorwth spurt or somthing?

Those surveys and stages are all estimations. They are not for all. They are just generalizations and averages that have been taken from studies of a small group of males to reflect everyone else. I would not get freaked out if you scored a four or whatever and you havent grown. Puberty is totally unique to every person becuase every person is unique in their own special way. So even if you are 5'5 or whatever you still have plenty of time to grow. There also is that chance that this is close to your full adult height. However, if most of your family is about 5'10 then you will be within that hiehgt somewhere. Also, I think that faster growth will come to you within the next 2 years if it hasn't already. I think there is a chance that you did not notice your growth yet because I am sure I didn't. Anyways, I am babbling. I think you are fine and you will be growing more until the end of puberty.

Good luck :D

Stages are very rough, and might I add poor ways of determining how far you are in puberty.
You're fine. You're only 15. You have plenty of time to add a few inches to your height. Even so, maybe you won't be that tall of a guy anyway. That's no problem. Just be a small guy with a big voice - that'll impress people.
