Question:
Hello sir,
Would you be able to estimate how much growth I would have left? My growth pattern is very inconsistent, and I can’t seem to find my growth spurt, as I only know some of my heights at different ages. The calculator shows that I am at 3.5. I have parents who are 155 cm and 165 cm. I only know that I started my puberty at 13 because my voice cracked at 13, my body odor started to become worse at 14, though, and acne has been increasing throughout these 10 months of being 14.
Here are my growths throughout the years
- 11: 130 cm
- 12: 138 cm
- Mid-late 13: 146 cm
- Late 13: 153 cm
- 14 years: 155 cm
- Mid-14 years: 157 cm
Thank you in advance!
Answer:
You have been growing roughly 8 cm (3 inches) per year. Voice cracking, body odor, and acne are signs of late stage 3 or early stage 4. Your estimate using the calculator gives you a mid-stage 3 answer. It might be on the low side given the other things you mentioned, but since I have no way to see you, I can’t make a determination. I can’t estimate your adult height without your current weight and knowing which parent is which height.
The options are that you are nearing your growth spurt, or that you are among those boys who grow at a steadier rate over a longer period of time. I lean toward you being near your growth spurt, but it is just a guess.
Question:
Thank you for getting back to me, sir, but could I add more to it? I would really want to know my estimated height, if I could. My mom is 155 cm, and my dad is 165 cm. My weight would be 62 kg.
Sorry to bother you again, but I’m really worried and curious; also, I don’t have easy access to a checkup.😔
Thank you in advance again.
Answer:
Your predicted adult height is between 161 and 174 cm. Most likely (90% confident), you will be between 166 and 169 cm.
Question:
Thank you for the explanation, sir. I’ve never really talked to someone who knew this kind of stuff. I was just always insecure and wanted to know everything.
Answer:
You’re welcome to ask any questions you have.
