Yeah they go to sleep and wake up taller. Great to see but sometimes you wish they can stay little.

Size 15? I bet he's gonna be a big one. I grew a few inches between 8th and 9th grade then pretty gradual until about 18 or 19. Stopped at 6'3"

I'm curious when you all got your growth spurts. My son has a slight scurrilous to his spin which he is getting treatment for. He is 15 and yesterday at his orthopedic appointment the doctor laughed and predicted my son would be 6'9 by the time he was done growing. My son experienced his first growth spurt this year, growing from 5'9 / 135 to 6' / 120 shoe size 10 to size 15. My older two children (boy and girl respectively) grew more even. My daughter grew 5 inches when she was 13 but only two inches afterwards. My son grow about 2" a year until he was 18 to round out at 6'5 size 12 shoe. Size 15 shoe means he isn't finished. I am 6'5" and have a size 15-16. |

Ehhh I was predicted to hit 7'4'' or so.
I hit 6'10''. I hit my growth spurt when hit 14. When I was a fresh man in highschool I was 6'8'' I grew another 2 inches by the time I was a freshman in college. God the pain from growing sucked. I would almost cry some night in bed, until I found Naproxen.  Great uncle was 7'6'' or so. Dad was 6'3'', Dads dad is 6'2''. Im sure he has shrunk a little since then. He is 67 now. Moms side of the family. Mom and Dad were short. Everyone else beyond that was 6'3'' plus. So it will depend. Take the Dr's estimation with a grain of salt. Oh and check his shoe size correctly. He may be wearing a 15, but it may because of the width of his foot. I had to get size 18 when in reality my foot is a 16 Quad E. As for eating. Well lets say I could eat all the groceries out of the house before Monday. Mom went shopping Sunday. I was 315 all through high school and jumped about 20lbs when I hit college. It was muscle weight from power lifting. My body fat kept dropping while my weight went up. I was putting down 200$ worth of groceries down then. Forgot to mention. Make him stretch every day. Legs arms etc... Be limber. He will thank you 20 years down the road. The bones will grow quicker than the muscles and cause immense pain later in life. |

I never really had one. I've just been growing very slowly. I'm 20, 5'11" and wear a size 13. Dad didn't grow until his 20's and he was just under 6'4" wearing a 12 2E. Same thing with my older brother. About 5'10"-5'11" until he hit his 20's now he's 6'7" and wears a legit size 17 shoe. I hope I get taller.
If your boy is wearing a 15, odd's are I could see him in the 6'5" range +/- an inch. Shoe size is no indicator though. One of my best friends is 6'5" and wears a 10.5. I call him lady feet.

He actually has a very narrow foot. I wasn't with him when he was measured but they seem to fit him fine.
Luckily he does stretches daily because of his scurrliouses otherwise I doubt he'd listen to me, my first two didn't. I was made to stretch daily in school and before exorcizing a habit I've kept up with. I would hate to know what I would be like had I didn't. |

5th grade through freshman year is when i grew the most.
I do not remember what my height/weight was. Was darn near the shortest but grew to be among the taller kids. It was very painful at times. My knees would hurt like hell. Mom would wrap them in hot towels and make me sleep with a pillow under them. Parents spent a lot of money feeding me. Mom was 4ft10in and dad is 6ft. Dad's side average 6ft and taller. Moms side is all under 6ft to the 4ft range. I grew to be 5ft 10in. Shoe size is 10 with narrow feet. Always cussed that i did not reach at least 6ft but it was not in the cards. |

I never really had a growth spurt. I basically continually grew, just at a higher rate than my peers. I was always the tall one.
I was 6'3" at 14. Stopped growing in 9th grade, 6'5" to 6'6", size 13 shoe. eta: My dad and brother had similar growth patterns. My brother ended up 6' 3" and my dad ended up 5' 9", but he reached that height at an early age. I think nutrition and health is why he didn't get taller. eta2: My mom is 5'7" and dad is 5'9". Family photos with me (6'5") and brother (6'3") are always interesting. |

He is 25 now and weighs nearly 250. He needs to lose about 25 pounds but over all he has just gotten to be man verses a boy. Me? Girls grow faster but I just grew really fast. I was 5'9 in the 4th grade and 6ft in the 6th. I have not grown up since 12. When I graduated from HS I weighed 145 pounds (thought I was fat  ) I got sick and lost a bunch of weight (got down to 119) and struggled making weight for the next several years. I didn't start filling out until I was in my 20's (My brothers called me Flatty Patty) |

My daughter grew 5" in the 8th grade, she was lucky and wore mostly skirts that never got too short. Did your son suffer from growing pains? I know when I was 10 I had them horribly. My grandparents had to make a bed for me downstairs as it hurt to much to climb the stairs to my room. I looked on line as my son is having growing pains and I thought well maybe they had something for them now but it says there is no real evidence that growing is painful.......so I guess not.  |

We're the first to know when it rains, but we really suffer in economy class when flying. Also for my mother's generation girls were supposed to be fair and danty. I was never either of these things. If you'd listen to my mother describe me you'd have a mental picture of babe the blue ox in a dress. I can't tell you how many women said to me when I was growing up how awful it must be to be tall. I was a Tom boy and I loved sports so I loved being tall so I didn't have many hangups, but I also had a poor self image. If you've ever seen the movie "In a League of their own" my mental image of myself was more of Rosie O'Donnell's character when in reality I looked more like Gena Davis. My daughter to this day has the same mental image of herself, even though she has heard me growing up talking about how wonderful it is that she was tall (she has heard comments like I have from her Grandmothers).So we all at one point and other think the grass is greener else where but the reason for my thread is to get an idea on my son's future growth spurt. I don't expect him to get to 6'9 (I estimated his height to be 6'7) but clearly he has some growing to do. Like others mentioned above when I was growing fast and my older two were they were hearty eaters my youngest is getting an appetite but he hasn't gotten his "hallow legs" yet. |

i'm 6'2''. with my first ACL surgery doc said my growth plates were still "wide" open at 18 years old. He said I'd hit 6'7'' 6'8''. Had a 2nd ACL surgery and that doc said the same thing. Here I am 8 years later and I'm still only 6'2'' but my dad is 5'8'' and mom is 5'09'' so I guess I'm lucky. I also have lady feet. I only wear a size 10

Quote HistoryQuoted: Foot size doesn't always correlate to height. Look at Johnny Manziel. He's just a dis-proportioned freak. He wears a size 17 shoe, and his hands are 11.75" from tip to tip, but he's only 5' 11" tall. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm curious when you all got your growth spurts. My son has a slight scurrilous to his spin which he is getting treatment for. He is 15 and yesterday at his orthopedic appointment the doctor laughed and predicted my son would be 6'9 by the time he was done growing. My son experienced his first growth spurt this year, growing from 5'9 / 135 to 6' / 120 shoe size 10 to size 15. My older two children (boy and girl respectively) grew more even. My daughter grew 5 inches when she was 13 but only two inches afterwards. My son grow about 2" a year until he was 18 to round out at 6'5 size 12 shoe. Size 15 shoe means he isn't finished. I am 6'5" and have a size 15-16. Foot size doesn't always correlate to height. Look at Johnny Manziel. He's just a dis-proportioned freak. He wears a size 17 shoe, and his hands are 11.75" from tip to tip, but he's only 5' 11" tall. |

Last few months of 8th and summer before 9th grade when I turned 14. Grew like 5" and stopped. Now I'm old, fat, grey and I'm getting shorter.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I thought I stopped growing when I was 17. At age 19 I grew another inch ending up at 6'3. I thought I was through and had topped out at 6'3" at age 17. Then around age 21-22 I grew another inch and made it to 6'4". Life was bad enough having growing pains in my legs as a teenager, when I could just lay in bed and suffer. Going through that last spurt while in the military and having to work while going through that really sucked. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: wow, he's a big boy! My son is skinny (too skinny, but I was the same way at his age.) He wears a 28/34 right now which is difficult to find. My oldest was similar and not as socially ept so I got away with buying him women's jeans and cutting out the tag.
