Answer:

Maybe, maybe not.

Explanation:

Maybe, maybe not. Growth stops when puberty is complete, as the hormones play a large role in closing the bone’s growth plates. The final stage of puberty is called Tanner Stage 5. (Tanner scale - Wikipedia). The average age boys reach Tanner 5 is 15 - 17 years old and the average boy is done growing at age 17. However, boys who started puberty late grow until an older age and boys who started puberty earlier may stop growing at a younger age. If your pubic hair extends from the crotch area to include the medial (inside) aspects of your thighs, this is Tanner 5. Other signs are the appearance of hair along the linea alba, the line that “connects” your pubic hair to your belly button. For males, if you need to shave everyday to avoid a 5 o’clock shadow look, you’re in stage 5. (This does not apply to many Asians and other ethnicities that don’t grow a lot of facial hair). Growth in height is pretty much over at this point.

The fastest rate of growth is usually 1 to 2 years after puberty has started. Developing physically into an adult takes 2 to 5 years. Most boys will stop growing taller by age 16 and will usually have developed fully by 18
