the height that a person achieves is primarily genetically-determined. every normally healthy person will stop growing at some point. some as early as 14 (usually girls) and some in later teen years (usually boys). the only way to know if growth has stopped is to see an endocrinologist and have an x-ray exam to check the status of his growth plates and perhaps his human growth hormone level. the bone-age test will not show if his growth velocity has slowed down or is slowing down however.
can u stop growing at the age of 14? . hello i am concerned for my sons height. he is currently 14 and about 5'4 (height in feet) i'd say he has hit puberty but recently he has seemed to stop growing as much as he did last year which is worrying me. is this normal?
