However, the niqab is an important part of Saudi culture and in most Saudi cities (including Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, Abha, etc.) the vast majority of women cover their faces. Saudi women are expected to wear a face-veil in public and they may be harassed by the religious police if they do not cover their faces.
Male Growth Patterns. Boys generally hit their growth spurt about two years after girls, according to KidsHealth.org. Most boys grow most quickly between ages 12 and 15 and stop growing by age 16, but this depends on when they reach puberty. Boys usually continue developing muscles and gaining weight after they stop growing taller. The average adult male in the United States is about 69 inches tall, according to the CDC.
Most boys start puberty and begin their growth spurt between ages 13 and 15. Their growth spurt also lasts for a year or two and during this period they may gain as much as 4Â½ inches in height per year. By age 15, it is common for boys to become taller and heavier than girls. After the growth spurt, growth continues but slows down to a steadier rate. It is important to note that growth period can occur within a wide age range. Each individual may experience growth period earlier or later than the average age.
