Im 15 years old and my bone age is 18 years old. Im 5"4 and pretty darn short. I have little arm pit hair and lots of pubic hair(sorry if that's disgusting). Do you think I can still grow? Should I make an appointment with my doctor? I really dislike being short. What bone age does your growth plates close in your legs?

My bone age is 18 years old meaning that my bones are the same age of a regular 18 year old. Meaning somehow my bones got 3 year advanced ahead of my normal age and resulting in shorter growth cause the growth plates fuse earlier. My parents are both 5'5ish and my grandpa was 5'9ish

don't worry shorty, you keep growing until you're about 20. My parents are both about 5'7'' and me and my sister are both taller than them (5'9'' and 6'2'').

unless you're screwed that is, but you can't find out until you get older. My condolences if that is the case.

Yeah don't worry, because nobody cares about your height.

If you can't get over it, turn it into a positive and take up some kind of motor sport.

I stopped growing at 23, so yeah.

Eat well, and sleep well.
