Sex and Puberty For questions related to sex, puberty, birth control and sexual health, ask here!
I've been wondering if I'm a late bloomer, I'm only 2 or 3 inches taller then what i was when i was 13 and now i turn 17 in about a month
i can almost grow a full beard though and i read online that facial hair is one of the last things that happens in puberty, i know my uncle on my mum's side was a late bloomer and he was about 5'10 till he was 19, now he's in his 30s and is 6'5 but I don't think my mum or dad were late bloomers
my mum thinks i'll keep growing but i'm 5'9 and i feel like i've stopped growing and i'm not going to grow anymore.

Hey!
Firstly welcome to TH It's great to have you.
Some people definitely are late bloomers so there is a chance you will grow a little bit more. Honestly though some people (like me!) are just generally shorter. I stopped growing when I was 14. Puberty is just different for everyone, and height really isn't everything, so try not to worry too much about it.
You can of course see your doctor if you are worried and they can reassure you and check that you are healthy!

Hi there!
Some people develop later than other people and that's ok! I stopped growing when I was about 12 or 13 so I have children at the school I work at that are as tall as me.
