I am 17 (almost 18) and 5'7. I started puberty fairly late, pubic hair around age 14.5, just started getting armpit hair at 17. My voice hasn't dropped yet but it has been deepening over the past few months. I noticed adam's apple getting more prominent, clavicles thickening and widening, and I have grown half an inch in the last 3 months even though I did grow very slowly from 15-17. The thing is from 15-17 I lived like shit, had really bad family issues and eating disorder where I would starve and then binge which might have effected puberty (I fell into the gymcope be as lean as possible). I got mogged by other kids more well developed than me and had puberty early. I tried to cope with 6iu HGH a day but all it gave me was better recovery from the gym, vivid dreams, and carpal tunnel. Since it only speeds up growth since I am not GH deficient I wonder if I should hop off or not. My main question is can I still grow/get taller or is it over for me? I started eating properly again in a slight surplus and feel way better with more energy.
