      I’m not sure. Lots of teenagers can get quite significant growth spurts but I’m not sure what and if there is a maximum. It’s all down to your hormones!

      Everyone is different but it has been said that at their fastest, boys can grow taller by as much as 9cm a year and girls by 8cm a year. But, as Amy said, it’s down to your hormones.
