Quote from: Zamii on February 27, 2018, 10:49:13 AMWhat do we consider early puberty, before 12?
I also thonk facial/body hair might indicate how much growth a person has left. Though some people did say that facial hair is not correlated to height growth
Well, you made me google it, and I found these:
https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/precocious.html
https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/early-puberty-in-boys
First link mentions:
QuotePrecocious puberty — the onset of signs of puberty before age 7 or 8 in girls and age 9 in boys — can be physically and emotionally difficult for kids and is sometimes the sign of a health problem.
Second link mentions:
QuotePuberty is the time when boys’ bodies and minds mature and they grow into young men. This usually starts when a boy is about 12 years old. Sometimes, though, a much younger boy starts to show the signs of puberty. This is called precocious (pre-KOH-shuss), or early puberty (PU-ber-ty).
Of note, this was mentioned in the first link:
QuoteWhen puberty ends, growth in height stops. Because their skeletons mature and bone growth stops at an earlier age than normal, kids with precocious puberty usually don't reach their full adult height potential. Their early growth spurt may make them initially tall when compared with their peers, but they may stop growing too soon and end up at a shorter height than they would have otherwise.

Did you get facial hair/chest hair early on?

Yes, around 11yo

That's very interesting. I have heard that when people get facial and chest hair they are at tanner stage 4.8+ and have either stopped growing or will not grow for much longer. I would say that your experience is rare (though many wish it wasn't).
^ No one knows for certain, there seem to be a lot of factors to growth that doctors still don't understand.
It's not uncommon for gymnast girls, even ones who get their periods at a regular age, to grow an inch or two into adulthood, I've seen it personally happen myself.
Also, males frequently think they stopped growing at 14 because that's when they received their last 4+ inch growth spurt, but it's just not true. You only feel like you stop growing because it's the last very noticeable growth, but I would estimate that on average they still grow another 2 or 3 inches until they reach adulthood.
