I’m 17 how do I know if I’ve stopped growing
As a specialized badminton coach, I’ve seen many young players grow and develop. Height is an important factor in the sport, so I often get asked how to know if someone has stopped growing.
There are a few key indicators that can give you a good idea of whether or not you have stopped growing. One is your growth rate. If you have been growing at a steady rate for several years, it is likely that you will continue to grow for a few more years. However, if your growth rate has slowed down or stopped altogether, it is possible that you have reached your full height.
Another indicator is your bone age. A bone age x-ray can determine how mature your bones are. If your bones are close to fusing, it is likely that you will not grow much taller.
Finally, you can also look at your parents' height. If your parents are tall, it is likely that you will be tall as well. However, there is no guarantee that you will be the same height as your parents.
If you are concerned about your height, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine if you have stopped growing and recommend ways to maximize your height if you haven't.
