Tanner stage is bullshit

[FortniteGod]

Sorry but I keep seeing teencels connecting height to Tanner stage

When I was 15 I was 5’8. Grew around 6 inches and I’m 6’2-6’3 at 16.

And as far as I recall I had a giant bush down there and still do lmfao. My dad also had the same growth pattern and many NBA players hit growth spurts randomly like I did.

grew 6 inches within the same year? how tall are your parents

Yeah.

My dad is 6’3 and my mom is 5’5.

I’m about 6’2 and done growing

But the thing is I already had signs of finished puberty or whatever the fuck. I was tanner V, had facial hair, sideburns, voice already was cracked way before, etc.

tanner stage is an average, there are ppl that are hairier by genetics and some ethnicities are way hairier so its not very accurate , also alot of people are less hairy because of genetics so ur puberty might be over with 0 facial hair

also growth patterns vary from person to person personally i always grew in height every other summer i always stayed the same height for 2 years between growth spurts

nvm, you’re dad’s too tall to call it a tanner stage abnormality, maybe if he was below 6ft.

Jfl

I wanna ask my dad (who also grew 6-7 inches at 15) if he was tanner V but I think he would get weirded out because his son is asking him about his pubes
