Yes, puberty can end at 15, particularly for girls.
Puberty is a period of significant physical and hormonal changes as a child transitions into adulthood. While the timing varies considerably from person to person, there are typical age ranges for the onset and completion of puberty.
-
For Girls: Puberty typically begins between the ages of 8 and 13, and usually concludes around 15 to 17 years old.
-
For Boys: Puberty generally starts later, between the ages of 9 and 14, and ends around 16 to 17 years old.
It's important to remember that these are just averages, and a healthy individual may experience puberty ending earlier or later. Factors like genetics, nutrition, and overall health can influence the timing. If there are significant concerns about the timing of puberty, consulting a healthcare professional is always a good idea. They can assess the individual's development and determine if further evaluation is necessary. The Cleveland Clinic offers information on puberty and its stages.
