Question:

What stage of Tanner am I at?

  • 13: 153
  • 14: 160
  • 15: 169
  • 16: 174
  • 16 and 7 months: 176

I have some facial hair, underarm hair, and hair behind the thighs.

Answer:

The reason the Tanner Stage Calculator exists is to answer these sorts of questions, though I understand the desire to get confirmation.

Based on your growth, you were in stage 3 from age 14 to 15 and you are currently halfway through stage 4 at age 16. I can’t say anything based on your hair because I can’t see the distribution and you didn’t give enough details.

Question:

Thanks for your answer. According to what you told me, I am in the middle of stage 4. How many centimeters can I expect to grow? How much growth time do I have left?

Answer:

Each stage lasts roughly two years. You have been in stage 4 for at least a year, perhaps a bit longer. Thus, you have less than a year left before all growth in height stops. Growth gradually slows down until it comes to a complete stop. Thus, I would guess that you will grow another 1 to 2 cm before you are completely done.
