No. I'm 16 and i started puberty around that age. I had a healthy growth spurt and everything was normal.

Lady, puberty has nothing to do with impeding growth, in fact, puberty is growth. If you are really worried, then go bring him to a doctor. But I think he will be perfectly fine.

Yes, that might be the case statistically.
But I continued to grow in height until I was 28 years of age - who knows for sure?
